A member asked:

Is there a possibility that u can get an ear infection from a sinus infection? if so, will the azithromycin clear that up as well? my ear hurts.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

You betcha!: Your sinuses, pharynx (throat), nose and middle ears are all interconnected. It's a complex maze of tubes and passages that easily pass infection from one area to another. And yes, your Azithromycin should be adequate at clearing things up. I'm a bit fonder of a penicillin based treatment for sinus/ear, like augmentin, (amoxicillin and clavulanate) but that's probably the pediatrician in me talking.Chew gum to relieve ear pain.
