Q: can sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim 800-160 mg be used to treat sinus issues?

: Sulfamethoxazole-Trimethoprim can be used for sinus infections, but is not the favored antibiotic (Augmentin). If it is only antibiotic available use it as long as the patient does not have a sulfur allergy (Sulfamethoxazole).
