Mike137100,
Amoxicillen is not the optimum antibiotic to fight a sinus infection, and you are probably right about having a rip roaring sinus infection. Cephallasporins like Ceftin, Cefzil, and Keflex tend to allow for better resolution of infected sinuses. A dieviated septom can cause chronic sinus infections because it restrict the ability for your sinuses to drain. Have you taken decongestants on a routine daily basis for a while? If not youshould try it, but I suspect you have a flare up of your previous infection.
Sinus infections are dark cavity infections, thus blood flow to the region is low, and it takes longer doses of antibiotics to clear them up. Ten days was enough to get in your system, break up some of the infected muck and allow it to drop down the back of your throat. Thus you now probably have a cillen resitant infections in your head. Really bad sius infections can take between a 21 and 60 day treatment regime of antibiotics to fix.
I am on my second month of antibiotics in a row right now and still running fevers, having headaches, and only minimally draining my infected muck. I can not wait for them to drill holes in my head come October 17th, I can imagine the relief.
Good luck with your sinus problem,
MG
