Let's do this. Had the worst sinus infection in my life for the past week and a half. Still feel like shit but that can be a blessing. My query, I am on my 4th day of a 5 day Z-Pak prescription. Gonna take the last pill in 8 hours. If this infection doesn't clear during the weekend should I go back and ask for a Cipro or Amox prescription.....typical antibiotic. I am gradually feeling better.

It's great that you feel a bit better! I think Cipro is often prescribed for sinus infections, so probably the Z-Pak is something like an antibiotic?

That's what I have and was surprised that that wasn't prescribed. I did read that doctors are trying to get off typical antibiotics for these types of infections due to bacterial immunity build up.
