I had a cold 3 weeks ago, caught it from my kids. I felt rough fo 5 days but then I was well. I then felt bunged up again and headachy about a week later. I went to the dr twice that week and both times told it was a virus but on saturday i ended up on anti bs as I rung the out of hours GP who said my symptoms were more like sinusitis. 2 days on anti bs and I was feeling much better, glands went down and face no longer hurt and my snot (sorry) went back to clear from green.
I have 1 day left of anti bs tomorrow, im on 500mg of amoxicillin 3x a day, a weeks course. Thing is I have ear pain in my left ear, a horrible ache. Its getting no better. How long does it take for anti bs to completly work? when i had my ears checked last week they were clear, nothing wrong desptite the pain i had.
NO point running the dr as im still on anti bs. I am flying to paris in 12 days, im worried about flying because of the pain in my ear. Also ive heard sinusitis can take lots of anti bs to clear it or some people can never be rid of it and it can cause lots of problems. Can anyone reassure me or has anyone had sinusitis and its gone after a course of anti bs?
