Amoxicillin and metronidazole are to be taken in combination for a sinus infection. If plain amoxicillin does not work, a formulation with clavulanic acid such as augmentin should be used with metronidazole.

Can pinamox be taken for a chest infection or sinus infection?

Pinamox, which contains amoxicillin, is an antibiotic that can be effective against certain bacterial infections, including some chest infections and sinus infections. However, its use should be guided by a healthcare professional who can determine if the infection is bacterial and if pinamox is the appropriate treatment. Always consult a doctor for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan before taking any medication.

Yes, cephalexin 500 mg can be used to treat sinus infections, particularly if they are caused by bacteria susceptible to this antibiotic. However, it is not the first-line treatment for sinusitis; doctors typically prescribe other antibiotics, such as amoxicillin or amoxicillin-clavulanate, unless there are specific reasons to use cephalexin. Always consult a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

What to do for sinus infections?

Well, first of all, you need to go to a doctor to actually get it diagnosed. Once it's been diagnosed, the doctor will either have you wait for a week and care for it at home to see if it'll go away on its own, or they will put you on an antibiotic. Amoxicillin is common. Usually, you'd take the Amoxicillin for 10-14 days, but sometimes an extension to 21 days is recommended. If the Amoxicillin doesn't work, they may switch you to a more potent antibiotic. One thing you can do to avoid sinus infections is to stay away from dry climates. If, like me, you live in a desert, then having a humidifier in your house may help. I use one in my bedroom at night and it seems to help a lot. Good luck with your sinus infection!

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.


What is good for a sinus infection?

A humidifier would easily clear up the sinus infection. I also recommend Vicks Vapo Rub (which i own no copyright to). I use that whenever i have a sinus infection. It clears me up very quickly. Drink lots of fluids, and a little unorthodox, but putting icy-hot under your nose and on your chest will also help.
