Started 7-day script amoxy for sinus infection following long 4.5 wk cold (and conjunctivitis). 500mg 2x day. symptoms mostly low grade fever, nasal pressure, heavy fatigue. two and half days into script. still low grade fever. is that ok?

Dose: Seems to be a little low, 500 mg 3 times a day is recommended. If this is indeed acute bacterial sinusitis resistance to antibiotics is increasing and in case no response antibiotic may need to change.

Sinus infection : A fever is a temperature of 100.4 F or greater. The use of low-grade fever is often used for normal temperatures. As antibiotics are started people temporarily feel worse for 2 days as the bacteria die and release toxins. If you are concerned see a doctor in person. I hope you feel better
