I was recently diagnosed with a sinus infection on both sides of my face, and despite taking my prescribed medications (Rabedif, Levoflox 250, and Montair FX) since yesterday, I still have a mild fever, swelling, and severe pain in my nose bone with no improvement; am I on the right treatment, how long should this take to heal, and should I get a second opinion?
Please be reassured that your prescribed treatment, including Levofloxacin (Levoflox 250), Rabeprazole (Rabedif), and Montelukast/Fexofenadine (Montair FX), is highly appropriate for a bilateral sinus infection. Since you only started yesterday, it is completely normal to not feel relief yet; antibiotics typically take 48 to 72 hours to show noticeable improvement, and full recovery can take one to two weeks. I recommend resting, staying hydrated, and using warm compresses. If you develop a high fever, severe eye swelling, or see no improvement after three full days, please contact your doctor or seek a second opinion.
