How quickly does medicine for a sinus infection start working?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: Most cases of sinusitis do not require antibiotics and they are only recommended for the most severe and persistant cases lasting over 7-10 days. Sinusitis symptoms should start improving 2-3 days after starting an appropriate antibiotic.
