The cause of the problem of the sinuses should be identified before giving antibiotics.Amoxicillin-Clauvinic acid combination is a good antibiotic for sinus infections,allergy may need to be treated too.Adequate hydration and steam inhalations will help in decongesting the sinuses,overuse of oral and local decongestant medication will lead to a rebound congestion which may present like this.
