Sinusitis with ear and throat infection I have chronic sinusitis with an ear and throat infection. I have just finished a course of treatment with Augmentin, and I'm still taking Cataflam. Even after a week, I am still congested and my ears feel terrible. Everything sounds like I'm under water. Acute and chronic sinusitis produce similar symptoms, such as tenderness and swelling over the affected sinus, but the precise symptoms depend on which sinus is affected.
Frontal sinusitis produces headache over the forehead.
Ethmoid sinusitis produces pain behind and between the eyes and headache, often described as splitting, over the forehead. The pain produced by sphenoid sinusitis doesn't occur in well-defined areas and may be felt in the front or back of the head. Sinusitis is treated with antibiotics, such as amoxicillin, but people who have chronic sinusitis take antibiotics longer. When antibiotics aren't effective, surgery may be performed to improve sinus drainage and remove infected material. The medications you listed have different names on our formulary, but we assume they are decongestants.
