Sinus infections often follow a cold and cause pain and pressure in your head and face. Sinusitis can be either acute (sudden) or chronic (long-term). With chronic sinusitis, the infection or inflammation does not completely go away for 12 weeks or more.
Answer: Your doctor may decide to write a prescription for an antibiotic. In cases of sinusitis that doesn't get better with saltwater irrigations or over-the-counter medications. Antibiotics kill bacteria, and bacteria which overgrow inside the sinuses are the primary cause of that headache, and facial pain and pressure are associated with sinusitis. So most patients that begin taking an antibiotic, after 48 to 72 hours, feel quite a bit better.
