Can an online doctor treat a sinus infection?

Yes. Many sinus infections can be evaluated via telemedicine. Treatment focuses on symptom relief and, when appropriate, antibiotic therapy based on your history and exam.

What are common symptoms of a sinus infection?

Typical symptoms include facial pain or pressure, nasal congestion, headache, thick nasal discharge, postnasal drip, and reduced sense of smell.

When should I seek in-person care for a sinus infection?

Seek urgent in-person care or an ER if you have high fever, severe facial pain, swelling around the eyes, vision changes, neurologic symptoms, or symptoms that rapidly worsen.
