Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thanks for posting the query

Considering your age factor, plain amoxicillin can be taken 3 times in a day for not less than 7 days, to treat the sinus infection. Meanwhile, do steam inhalation, drink plenty of warm water and use saline nasal spray as frequently as possible.

Hope I have answered your query; I'll be available for the follow up queries.
