Hello.

Hope you are well. I'm trying this out because I am currently in Southeast Asia, on an island, with limited access to healthcare. I recently had a motorbike accident in Vietnam, which resulted in a broken hand, a few stitches on my knee and a painful neck (which passed after a 5 days). 3 days after the accident I started having fever, I went to the hospital and they informed that I have a throat infection and puss could be seen in my sinuses. Started on antibiotics for 14 days, which I have just finished. However my sinuses still seem inflamed and my head is very painful whenever I make a move. I am not sure if this is normal or how can I improve my condition, given my location.

many thanks in advance for your advice.

kind regards.

    I had an infection that did not respond to 2 different antibiotics but the 3rd one worked. I can't remember the name as it was quite a long time ago and it was frustrating to have to try to find one that worked for the problem that I had. Good luck.

      Thank you for your reply. I always had problems with my sinuses, but they really improved in the past year. This time however they hit me over the night and it's the worst so far, every movement causes pain.

      Hopefully will get better soon.
