How Can Chronic Sinusitis Be Treated?

I have chronic sinusitis and as I have been unable to reach my doctor, someone suggested that I take Sinutab Extra Strength, allergy & sinus caplets. The enclosed pamphlet does not list any side effects. Can you tell me what they might be? Can I take 2 tablets per day and are they best taken with food?
I look forward to your answer.

Hello,

If you have chronic sinus infection, chronic sinusitis or acute exacerbation of the symptoms, then you need to take a course of antibiotics for reducing infection.

Sinutab or allergy medicines will reduce the severity of symptoms but to reduce infection antibiotics is a must.

You should take antibiotics like Cephalexin, Augmentin etc and along with it you can take Sinutab and allergy pills for relief.

Also do steam inhalation, saline nasal irrigation and use decongestant nasal spray like Xylometazoline.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Honey Arora
