Months earlier, during a flair up in sinus symptoms, I was put on
Amoxicillin for a short course but it was not long enough
to completely wipe out the infection. My ENT wants to bring in the big guns now and is using Amoxicillin and Augmentin as antibiotics for 3 weeks and is making me take 9 days of Prednisone oral steroid to stop the swelling in the sinuses, starting with 30mg/day initially and slowly dropping to 10mg/day.
