Hi. I have an ongoing sinus infection for about two months. I never had fever but had a period of pain in my sinuses. I have a white thick post nasal drip. I went to an ENT doctor and he prescribed me Augmentin for ten days and it didn't work. Then, he switched it to Levaquin and it has been 7 days and I still have the same problem. If both of these antibiotics failed, does it mean it is not bacterial?

I have a CT scan scheduled for Thursday. I will ask doctor for a culture test.

    You should know, Sinus infections can also be as a result of fungus. Though this is not common but it happens. The solution is surgery. I just hope yours is not as bad.

    I would gladly make a recommendation of a natural supplement I know that is most effective against sinus infections

      I did a culture test from my Sphenoid sinuses and it grew MRSA. Doctor said the strain of MRSA I have is susceptible to Bactrim. He prescribed me 14 days of Bactrim.
