Hi,

Welcome to HCM.

I understand your stress regarding sinus infection and the drugs prescribed usually are to reduce the fever and antibiotics to control the infection.

The drugs used for reduction of fever do cause sweating and this also indicates that your fever is reducing.

If you are still feeling unwell, I suggest you get in touch with treating doctor and get the prescription for antibiotics extended for another 5 days.

You will feel better soon.

I also suggest steam inhalation to relieve the pressure in the sinuses and aid drainage of the sinuses.

This will also help in faster recovery.

Avoid exposure to cold air and take adequate rest.

Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Thanks.
