A member asked:
I have a sinus infection, should i take antibiotic, mucinex (guaifenesin) and allergy medication?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes. only if..: If you got a prescription for this then by all means take the antibiotic. The other meds can help to alleviate your symptoms. If you have not been diagnosed by a doc for this and just have access to some antibiotics lying in your medicine cabinet then i would advise you to see your doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment.
