Sinus infection
I'm taking antibiotics for what is believed to be a sinus infection. I had minor swelling between my nose and cheek bone yesterday when I started the antibiotics. When I woke up this morning the swelling in my face was much worse and extends from the inside corner of my eye all the way down to middle of my cheek. Is this normal?
