Obtain a work visa. If you require a visa to work in Australia, submitting an application to the relevant embassy is your first priority. Prospective employers will ask about your immigration status and having your visa (or at least having started the application process) is a prerequisite for most job vacancies.
Antibiotics may be prescribed for sinusitis caused by bacteria. Antibiotics cannot be used to treat a sinus infection caused by a virus, however. Nevertheless, OTC medications can offer symptom relief. OTC medications include decongestants, expectorants, analgesics, and antihistamines. Each of these functions differently and serves a different purpose.
Antibiotics may be needed when symptoms of sinusitis do not respond to home treatment, symptoms are severe, or complications (such as pus forming in sinus cavities) develop. 1  Amoxicillin is often the first choice in treating sinusitis because it is usually effective and has few side effects. It should not be used if you are allergic to amoxicillin or have been diagnosed with mononucleosis. Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole may be prescribed for people who are allergic to amoxicillin.
