Is sinusitis contagious
I have been to my GP today and they told me I have viral sinusitis and gave me amoxicillin pills to take 1 3 times daily. I did some research and apparently antibiotics will not do anything for my sinuses. I also asked my GP if sinusitis is contagious and they said no but after research it says it is. So I am very confused.
