A member asked:

I've had a sinus infection for weeks now i've been taking different antibotics it doesn't seem to be going i want it gone will it ever go away?

See an ENT doctor: If you are not already seeing one, see one soon. This can become very severe with complications if the antibiotics are not covering the causative organism or you need adjunct measures to insure adequate drainage. See an ENT or get a second opinion. Hope you are better soon.
