Thanks for writing to us.
Usually sinus infection can last a week on antibiotics.
You need to complete the course prescribed for by your doctor.
If you stop it inbetween there is chance of promoting antibiotic resistance.
If symptoms persist after completing the full course consult your doctor again to re evaluate again.
Wishing your child good health.
