What is a sinus infection?
A sinus infection, also known as sinusitis or rhinosinusitis, is an inflammation of the sinuses that’s caused by a virus or bacteria. When your sinuses are infected, it means that fluid has built up in the air cavities around your nasal passages. This makes it harder for your nose and sinuses to clear out dust and debris, leading to uncomfortable symptoms like facial pain or pressure.
What are sinus infection symptoms?
• Facial pain or pressure
• Headache
• Nasal congestion
• Postnasal drip

Common sinus infection medications

Your clinician will determine which (if any) sinus infection treatment is medically appropriate for you based on your symptoms and health history. If you're prescribed medication, pick it up at a pharmacy of your choice.

Frequently asked questions

Is this visit right for me?
This visit may be right for you if:
• You’ve had fewer than 3 sinus infections in the past 12 months

• You're not experiencing ear pain, difficulty hearing, or a heavy cough

• Your sinus infection is new and you haven’t completed a full course of antibiotics

• You’ve had symptoms for less than a month
What sinus infection medications can I get through Amazon Clinic?
Your clinician may prescribe a nasal spray like fluticasone propionate (Flonase) or azelastine (Astelin), oral or nasal antihistamines, or antibiotics.

Please note: This information is for general reference only. Your clinician will review your symptoms and health history to determine which (if any) sinus infection treatments are medically appropriate.
What's the best medicine for sinusitis?
The best medicine for sinusitis (inflammation of the sinuses) depends on what's causing the infection. Almost all sinus infections are caused by viruses, which don't respond to antibiotics. Your clinician may prescribe antibiotics for a sinus infection that's determined to be bacterial.

If you’ve had sinusitis symptoms (like sinus headache, facial pressure, and nasal congestion) for less than a week, it may be too early to tell what's causing the inflammation. Your clinician may then take a wait-and-see approach, recommending over-the-counter treatments during this time. If your symptoms don't improve, you might be a candidate for antibiotics.
What types of visit can I have?
Video visits are available in all 50 states and D.C. Message-only visits are available in 34 states. To see your visit options, first choose your state.
