Specializes in Pediatric Allergy and Asthma

Primary/secondary: You may be partially treated, have a resistant organism, secondary or new infection. Sinusitis treatment requires a longer course of antibiotics. Nasal saline rinses and Flonase may help to relieve symptoms and improve recovery time. Please see your PCP.
