What Causes Prolonged Sinusitis While Suffering From Atrial Fibrillation?
I have afib but take 1 150mg per day and feel great, but I have a sinus infection for about 1 month ,. At first it was viral then igot a flu shot in my nose and i think i also got the flu plus the sinus infection and for the past 2 weeks i have taken antibotics, it is better but not gone yet. could this be because i have afib?

Hello,
Thank you for trusting HCM
If sinusitis persists after treatment with antibiotics, it indicated bacterial resistance and the need for switching to another antibiotic.
Please be advised to follow up with an ENT specialist .
Meanwhile use saline nasal drops, steam inhalation daily, saline nasal wash to help drainage from sinus more easier
Hope this answers your question
regards,
Dr.Lekshmi
