Is it possible to get a prescription of steroids as well to help knock out this ear and sinus infection?

Yes, from the doc who usually treats your sinusitis flares. Definitely not from the free HealthTap platform that is intended for guidance and education mostly.

Although full details are not provided, some generic directions might be useful if chronic sinus issues persist. Nasal rinses, frequently, Mucinex, proper antibiotics, decongestants, all may help. And of course, when appropriate, steroids. But consultation from an otolaryngologist may provide a potential surgical route to reverse repetitive or intermittent sinusitis.
