Sinus Infection. Scrapped Sinus, Vacuumed Out Infection, Pain. Is This Normal?

Hi, My sister went to Ruby Memorial Hospital, WV, (ENT Center). Her doctor told her she had a severe sinus infection. He numbed and scrapped her sinus, vacuuming out the infection, and gave her a prescription of augmentin. She was told that she should feel better in two days. She is not feeling better, she is have a great deal of pain. No bleeding. She is complaining that her face, teeth, and head is hurting, and that she feels dizzy sometimes. Is this normal? When should she be feeling better?

Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M Forum.
Augmentin is one of the best medicine prescribed for sinus type of infection,
2nd thing is sinus scrapped and vacuuming done.
Still there is pain in effected part , so once again consult the treating doctor and get in his opinion regarding this problem.
He might like to change the antibiotics.
Pain in face,head dizziness all complication of sinusitis .
Hope I have answered your question.
If further any question I will help.
