What Causes Swelling And Pus In The Nose With Sinus Infection?
Hi, welcome to healthcare magic. I had gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You could be having sinus infection. Your treating doctor has changed the antibiotics. You should give some time to act. I also recommend the following along with antibiotics. 1) Antihistaminic like tablet levocetrizine with phenylephrine. 2) Steam inhalation to promote sinus drainage and improve sinus ventilation. You will be fine. Hope i have answered your question. If you you have any questions, I am happy to help you. Wish you a good health and speedy recovery. Regards, Dr.Paparaja S. MBBS, MS
