Dr. Al Hegab answered

Specializes in Allergy and Immunology

Antihistamines..: Won't treat sinus "infection" , if bacterial infection, whether acute or chronic, antibiotics would be indicated, if it is viral, other measures as saline nasal washes, decongestants, or other meds may be needed. Kindly see your doctor for evaluation
