Keflex is a Cephalosporin antibiotic that inhibits the cell wall development in bacteria. It is effective in the treatment of Sinusitis that is related to bacterial infections. Be sure and note the side effects of antibiotic treatment that can be mild to severe. If you have never taken a Cephalasporin my advice is to see a physician before doing so or at a minimum do a drug interaction search (if you are on other meds) As with all antibiotics continued and chronic use can deteriorate their effectiveness and lead to resistant bacteria. Use them sparingly as needed.

Good luck

Is it harmful for you to use eye drops when you have a sinus infection?

If the eye drops are for moisturizing or rewetting with contact lenses it should be fine to use them while you recover from your sinus infection. If the drops contain medication, check with your pharmacist or the prescribing doctor to make sure the medication in the drops and the medication for your sinus infection can be used together.If the tip of the eye drops bottle came in contact with your eye or tears, since your sinus infection started, call your doctor or pharmacist to see if they think the drops are contaminated and need to be replaced.
