I have a sister ( 80 yrs old) that was taken by ambulance tonight for what Urgent care called a bad sinus infection, but her symptoms seem like the flu.

They gave her azithromycin today and she almost immediately developed a fever and broke out in a sweat....

She thought she was having a reaction to the antibiotic and called paramedics

I'm actually up waiting to hear what is going on....so your post is informative. I didn't know that sinus infections can also go down into the lungs.

“I didn’t know that sinus infections can also go down into the lungs.”

i don’t think they generally do ...

BUT azithromycin is pretty much useless for sinus infections ... it did nothing for me but within two days of Augmentin treatment, i could tell my illness was on the mend ... in my case, i really waited too long to take antibiotics and the sinus infection really did a number on my overall health ...
