Which antibiotics are best for shpenoid sinus infection? thank you. can antibiotics help or only surgery?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Combination: therapy is the best idea: If not allergic to penicillin, Augmentin and Bactrim DS PLUS nasal cortisone spray and saline nasal douches ( NaSal). CT scan of the sinuses will demonstate the degree of pathology.
