How can I tell if my sinus infection is bacterial or viral?
It's hard to tell on your own. Generally, viral sinus infections improve within 7-10 days. If symptoms last longer than 10 days, get worse after initially improving, or include a fever above 102°F, it's more likely bacterial and may benefit from antibiotics.
Should I take antibiotics for every sinus infection?
No — most sinus infections are viral and antibiotics won't help. Overuse of antibiotics also contributes to resistance. Your urgent care provider will weigh the symptom pattern before prescribing.
