1) Because if you spell sinus backwards, it becomes sinus which in latern means inter galctual head smetis.
2) According to my knowledge, the 'sinus' was originally called the 'inf-inf' based on its anatomical root, however as medicine evolved, it led to many misdiagnosed cases of speech impairments and hours of unnecessary therapy for sick patients who would visit the town doctor or shaoman and seek treatment for their inf-inf infection. Once this complication was recognized, it was renamed to avoid future confusion using the name of the discovering doctor, Mr. Sinus Smetis.
The antibiotic will not harm you if it turns out it is not bacterial, but it won't do you any good either. In your case, it is probably very difficult to determine if it is viral or bacterial. For school aged kids (or even adults going to work), the school usually requires the child to have at least 24 hours of an antibiotic when diagnosed with conjunctivitis (pink eye) - whether it is bacterial or not. Z-pak (alone) is indicated for sinus infections that have become bacterial infections. Z-pak plus bacterial sinus infection is a good combo. Z-pak and your other antibiotic taken together will not make your sinus infection better quicker than the Z-pak alone. Ciloxan opthalmic ointment or drops will not interact with the Z-pak, either (not harmful taken together).
What causes pressure and pain on the cheek bone?
You need a doctor to diagnose a problem, not a question and answer site! You might try WebMD. There are way too many things that might cause pain in the cheeks, from you biting at them all the way up to a tumor!
What could cause pain and your mouth not to open wide after having a tooth filled?
This can happen if it's a molar way back in your mouth and often a dentist will use a "block" to freeze the area and also the dentist puts a tool in back there to hold your mouth open. Thus, this causes some pain in the jaw area and it's painful to open your mouth. It will go away in a couple of days. Try eating soups, jello, yogurt, etc. You can also rinse your mouth out with table salt and warm water, spit it out AND DON'T RINSE YOUR MOUTH! Do this 3 - 4 times a day. If this pain continues for more than two days call your dentist.

Can fluid build up in ears or sinus infection cause hearing heartbeat in ears?
Any sort of uid in the ears can cause that, even water and your sinuses are linked to your ear canals so yes it is possible, but I might have your blood pressure checked as well, as that's a more likely reason but usually that's accompanied by hearing breathing through your ears as well. If your taking medication for sinus pressure that can raise your blood pressure depending on the medication. May not be your reason but possible.
Tingling in face caused by sinus infection?
Yes. Facial nerves are close to the sinus cavity. The v3 and v2 nerves specifically. You can get nerve inflammation from a sinus infection. This causes tingling sensations and/or pain along the nerves. Often high dose antibiotics are prescribed to heal the infection and inflammation.
What causes pressure or hearing your heartbeat in your ears?
It's possible that you have high blood pressure. Make sure to have it taken.
AnswerWax build-up can cause this and you should have your doctor clean out your ears anyway. Tinnitus is also another cause. Sometimes it's the way you may sleep on your pillow (pressing your head down on the pillow during sleep without being in REM sleep. Sinus infection can do this. Having the flu or a cold. High blood pressure.Most of us on occasion can hear our heart beat during the night when things are very quiet. Most of us ignore it during the day, but it's there always. I suggest you see your doctor to check out your ears and possibly do a few other tests should he/she feel the need. Don't sit and worry about it because I'm sure it's nothing serious. I've heard my heart beat as I lay down on occasion and what I do is prop my pillow up or put an arm under my head and it goes away.
Solution
i have also been hearing heart beat noises in my ear, beat sounds has been happening for over a week, i have tryed everything that i have read on the internet but nothing been working such as putting pressure behind the ear that made the beats stop for about 10sec. then i found the solution to stop this sound. it is a Indian remedy but please check that you are not allergic to garlic and mustard oil. Put two pieces of garlic in a pan and then pure some of mustard oil in the pan and heat it till it turns black. Allow it to cool right down and put 2-3 drops to the side of ear. puts the drops in your ear for 2-4 days and the heartbeats sound will stop.
Trust your doctor. You can always get a second opinion.
