Sinusitis FAQ

dark circles and puffy eyes

Question:

I was diagnosed with sinusitis last week by an allergist.  I have dark circles, puffy eyes, swollen cheeks and the bridge of my nose is also swollen.  The doctor prescribed nasalcort, cedax 400 mg antibiotic and claritin-d for one month.  I was wondering how long it will take my face to go back to normal if ever.  I don’t look like myself.  I have been taking the medicine for a week and nothing has really changed. thanks annie

They say if an antibiotic has not brought about a change within three days you need a different antibiotic.  You should call the doctor and let him know. mojo shaman wrote in message
