How To Treat Sinus Infection That Is Not Curing With Codeine?

I am allergic to codeine. I asked about delsym and the pharmacist related that there was sister drug to codeine in delsym. Would this be harmful if taken until the coughing subsides. My problem is a sinus infection. I am going into the 5th day of a Z-pac and not much relief as of yet.

antibiotics that are more effective than Azithromycinfor treating sinus infection,
for example Cefuroxime or Amoxicillin-clavulanate.
Please consult your doctor for a prescription.
