A member asked:
Does the antibiotic cefdinir can be effective only in sinus infection or also in chronic sinusitis in a child?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Both: If the infection is caused by the normal profile of germs this antibiotic can usually kill it. For a chronic condition to clear, the appropriate diagnosis is important.Some chronic sinus issues are not due to bacterial agents, but may be allergic or fungal in nature. The doc can sort this out.
