Resistant infection?: If you take any strong antibiotic like Augmentin (which is an excellent one) often, there could be a risk for a fungal infection in the sinuses. If you have not used saline irrigation for the sinuses I recommend that 1-2 x/day (several types available @ pharmacy). A steroid nasal spray might also help reduce swelling in the nose & mucus production . If those don’t help consult Dr.
