FAQ sul Trattamento di Sinus Infection
Can I get antibiotics for a sinus infection online?
Yes, if our doctor determines you have bacterial sinusitis, they can prescribe appropriate antibiotics. Not all sinus infections need antibiotics—viral sinusitis won't respond to them—so proper diagnosis is important.
How do I know if my sinus infection is bacterial or viral?
Bacterial sinusitis often involves symptoms lasting more than 10 days, severe symptoms, or symptoms that improve then worsen. Our doctors will assess your symptoms to determine the most likely cause and appropriate treatment.
How quickly can I see a doctor for my sinus infection?
With UrgentDoc, you can connect with an English-speaking doctor within minutes, 24/7. You don't need to wait for clinic hours or deal with language barriers.
What medications can be prescribed for sinus infections?
Our doctors can prescribe antibiotics, nasal corticosteroid sprays, decongestants, and other medications depending on your symptoms and the type of sinusitis.
How long does a sinus infection last?
Viral sinusitis typically improves within 7-10 days. With antibiotic treatment, bacterial sinusitis usually improves within a few days. Our doctors will explain what to expect with your treatment.
