These symptoms are similar to a cold, but if they last more than 10 days, it may be sinusitis. We can diagnose a sinus infection after a physical exam and medical history evaluation. We can then treat the condition with medication, such as antibiotics. Call our Kissimmee clinic for an appointment and we can help relieve sinus infection.
