I need advice as to when to see a doctor about a sinus infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
7-10 days: The VAST majority of sinus infections self resolve in 7-10 days and only need symptomatic treatment (pain relief & decongestants). If the symptoms are persisting after this (without sign of improvement, or worsening), then you may benefit from antibiotics.
