Suggest Treatment For Sinus Infections

I have what seems to be a sinus infection. I think it may be a sinus infect because I was treated for the same thing about 4 months ago and it took 3 different tries of antibiotics before it was gone. Is there something that works really well that i can get over the counter as I do not currently have insurance

Thank you for trusting HCM!
- Based on your introduction you have a risk for antibioitic resistance because of failed initial therapy so I would prescribe Augmentin 2,000 mg orally twice daily for 10 days.
- Drinking extra fluids helps to loosen secretions and hydrate the body.
- Use warm, moist compresses to the face several times a day will help with discomfort.
- Nasal saline to the nares three times a day will help to keep nasal passages moist.
