Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

I have gone through the details. The medicines prescribed are right. You can take Tab. Sinarest twice daily for 3 days after food, instead of Hifenac P.

Steam inhalation with 2 drops of eucalyptus oil will help clear your sinuses.

I hope this answered your query.

The aforementioned medicines are now over. I am not taking any medication anymore. Should I start the antibiotics again? I was benefited using Amoxycillin before. Just wondering in case I need to take antibiotics again.
