Sinusitis FAQ

BACTRIM

Question:

Hi Robin, You might want to suggest to your physician to extend your course of Bactrim beyond fourteen days.  Chronic sinusitis sufferers often require longer courses of antibiotics to make sure that the infection is completely eradicated.  If the infection returns after two weeks, it could be more difficult to treat. A 4-6 week course may be more appropriate. Cheers, Michael M. robin <ro…@martnet.com> wrote in message

It’s the fourth day – my tongue is sore from drawing constantly (sorry, it’s hard to candy coat this subject) but it’s thinning out and the infection is flowing – no pain in the frontals (forehead) and feel like there’s all kinds of action going on behind the cheek bones.  For those just tuning in – sinus infection/chronic sinusitis.  This is the fourth medicine I’ve tried as a result of someone else’s suggestion here.  So far, so good.   The real test will be when I am done them in another 10 days.  GO BACTRIM!  Robin JR: I wish you a speedy recovery – what else can be said.  Not a route I want to take.  Good luck.
