i was taking a WebMD health questionaire yesterday & i cannot seem to get back to it, it was quite lenghthy & it was suggested to do some each day by typing in my name, i can't get it to come back up. my problem is extreme sinusitis problems can you help...

Optional Information:
Female, Age: 64, New Mexico

Already Tried:
so far my dr. has had me on Bactrim,& it is the only thing that seems to help, nothing else seems to work & he has tried many but i have been taking it for sometime now & I'am not getting as much help from it but again it's better than no help at all which is what happens when we try something else, i have also had the sinus surgery which only seemed to worsen the problem in my case. It is very painful & does not seem to ever give me any relief...

Hello,

Welcome to JA. Was it the WebMD symptom checker you were looking at?

I'am not sure it was a very detailed questionaire about my health in general, before trying to help with my problem.

this was not the web site I was on, but was helpful, do you have any other advice about medication for me.

ACCEPTED

No advice really. The choice of antibiotic will be governed by whatever "bug" is causing the infection. It takes a few days to get the results of a C & S (culture and sensitivity) but it's well worth the wait to get the right drug.
