Thanks for your query at HCM!
Sinuses are air-filled cavities in the front of the skull that connect to the nasal passages and are lined with mucosal surfaces.
You suffer from Corynebacterium infection. Can you name the species?
As antibiotic susceptibility varies from species to species therefore susceptibility testing is recommended. Take treatment based on sensitivity results.
All the problem will subside after infection control.
Take care!
