A member asked:
Prescribed levaquin/clindamycin together one month for sinuses. made 19 days before reaction, doc stopped meds. long enough to help sinuses?

Too much antibiotics: You have to be extremely careful with antibiotics and I'm quite shocked you were prescribed such a long course. There are other ways to treat sinus disease-in fact, antibiotics are no longer recommended by the Infectious Disease Society of America. It might be worth seeing an ENT doc who would have different tools available to help you. Searching for the root cause of your sinus disease might help
