How Long Could It Take For Para Nasal Infection To Get Cured?

Hi, I was recently diagnosed with trigeminal neuralgia and a para nasal infection. I was given a 10mg prednisone pack to take for 6 days for the infection. And I just wanted to know how long will it take for the prednisone to begin relieving the swelling and infection?

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Read and understood your history of Trigeminal neuralgia and para nasal sinus infection.
I think Prednisolone alone is not the treatment given in such conditions. Although it works immediately, I mean if it has to give you results, it will be seen within a day.
I think you should an opinion of another Doctor, preferably an ENT Surgeon so that the proper clinical evaluation, examination and treatment can be instituted.
I hope this answer helps you to get proper treatment. and diagnosis.
