What Causes Sinusitis And Dizziness?
Symptoms like sinusitis, but having some vertigo, or dizziness. Thought it might be heat stroke, when I threw up some water initially. The vertigo is not going away after 24 hours. Wondering if it is viral or bacteria, that some antibiotics would help. Not nauseas anymore.

Hello,
Very likely the symptoms you are having are due to a viral infection and antibiotics will not be beneficial at this stage. If you get a fever that goes on for longer than 3 days or you feel any worse, you will need to have a check with your doctor to confirm if there is a complication with a bacterial infection and if antibiotics are needed.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
