A member asked:
Will allergy medicine help with getting rid of sinus infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Allergy medicine, typically an antihistamine, can help with the symptoms of a sinus infection, like nasal congestion, runny nose, etc. But, if the sinus infection is caused by bacteria, an antibiotic will be needed to get rid of the infection. See your doctor for examination to see what additional treatment may be needed to get rid of the infection. Best of luck to you!
