What is the best antibiotic for a sinus infection?
I have had a sinus infection for about 2 months now.. I went to the Dr. over 2 weeks ago and was given an antibiotic and antihistime..a week later i was back cause there was no progress.. they switched to a stronger antibiotic and now a week later and i still have seen little if any progress i also have had swelling come up over my left check bone in the past 2 days its very painful.. what should i do next?
The swelling above the cheek bone does not seem right, back to the doc please.
As to antibiotic most work well but at times you need to change them, your doc may try a different one.

Antibiotics are bad for two reasons: first they kill the friendly flora in you intestines and they cause the bacteria to become resistant (stronger) which is why antibiotics are becoming less effective over time and stronger ones are needed. Try colloidal silver. It is a broad spectrum natural antibiotic which a positive charge that attracts bacteria and viruses which have an opposite charge and then expels them through normal body functions. Colloidal silver does not harm friendly flora and has no harmful side effects. You can obtain it through a health food store or online. Try Sovereign Silver

If there's no progress from antibiotics, it could be resistant, or it could be from something that isn't bacterial. It could be fungal (which can be quite dangerous!) or viral, or even a migraine... Anyways, try to convince them to do a culture and see if they can identify exactly what organism is causing it. And look up symptoms of fungal sinusitis...
You should probably see the doctor ASAP since it's spreading, by the way. My friend had something like this. It was caused by a virus, it spread to his eye, and he almost lost his vision...

sounds like you have allergies. I have them too! You could probably use a steroid injection. It will boost your immune system. I have been given them after taking antibiotics for strep tonsillitis and started getting better that day..so whether its a bacterial infection, viral, or allergies...a cortisone shot will make you feel better.
I also get pressure and pain in my cheek bones, sometimes behind my eyes, the side of my head, my teeth, and my ears..
you may want to ask your dr for some rhinocort spray..you only use it once a day..not dangerous at all my daughter even takes it and she is 5

There are mainly 3 types of bacteria, maybe 4, that will cause sinusitis. Those are the same that cause otitis media (era infection). some of these can be resistant to certain antibiotics. If you have sinusitis..yes, you need antibiotics. But also you need to target the underlying problem. Let me explain: the sinuses are to halow, empty cavitis next to your nose in each side (they are the ones most likely to be infected), those sinuses need to drain into the nose. I have treated sinusitis always thinking about the different factors that wil work or interfere with the recovery of the illness, First, you need a most likely a cephalosporin type of antibiotic for 10 days (by mouth is ok) Sorry, no name brand here. second, you need to dry up and shrink your nasal passages with a nasal spray that must not use more than 5-7 days, I lake and atropinic derivative, also you need a steroid nasal spray at least twice a day, and finally, although it might soud funny, you need to blow your nose while taking a steamy shower. This will brake up and loosen up the obstruction of the outlet of the sinuses. Listen, although some people take it for granted about sinusitis, let me tell you that it can cause major problems. You should do fine though. Finally, if you have allergies (you know, always with a runny nose) then it must be controlled with a 2nd generation of antihistaminics (not a first generation as the one you might be given now). good luck. Good question. THE SWELLING IS A BAD SIGN SEE YOU DR TOMORRO IF POSSIBLE AND TELL HIM WHAT I SAID, HE MIGHT NEED TO SEND YOU TO A SPECIALIST (ENT).
