HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
If the infection is persisting you may need to consider the use of an antibiotic course to clear it up.
Sinusitis can be caused by infections or allergies. In addition to the antibiotics you may need a topical steroid nasal spray and antihistamine.
If the infection persist despite appropriate treatment your doctor may consider sending a sputum sample to the lab to check for the exact organism causing the infection.
I hope this helps
