Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi,

Thank you for your query.

The description provided by you suggests that your daughter is having sinusitis. Antibiotic alone is not sufficient; she needs a decongestant which shall facilitate the removal of the accumulated fluid. If fever recurs then the antibiotic needs to be changed.

I hope I have answered your query to your satisfaction.

Wishing your daughter an early recovery.

Regards,
