Brief Answer:
Soft diet is what you should have right now.

Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Thank you for the query.

Bladder infection is very common when you do not urinate enough (due to dehydration) and have diarrhea (stool can infect urethra). So this is very normal.

Generally, after gastrointestinal infection (caused by Augmentin), you should have soft diet for some time (like a week). Boiled meat, rice, boiled vegetables are what you should eat right now. Coffee, fatty foods, spicy foods, fried foods, alcohol should be avoided. Please start probiotic intake as well.

Keflex can help with sinusitis. But it might be not enough if its a chronic sinusitis.

Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
