Sinus infection relief, fast
That pressure behind your eyes, the congestion, the headache that won't quit — sinus infections are miserable. Get diagnosed and treated in minutes from home, with prescriptions sent directly to your pharmacy.
Do you have a sinus infection?
Sinusitis symptoms often start like a cold — then get worse or linger past 10 days. Here's how to tell if it's crossed into bacterial territory.
Symptoms lasting more than 10 days, thick yellow or green nasal discharge, severe facial pain or pressure, fever, worsening symptoms after initial improvement ("double sickening").
Symptoms under 10 days, clear or slightly colored discharge, mild facial pressure, often follows a cold. Antibiotics are NOT needed — we focus on symptom relief.
Symptoms lasting 12 weeks or more. May require imaging, allergy evaluation, or ENT referral. We coordinate this evaluation and manage your ongoing symptoms.
The right treatment for your sinusitis.
Not every sinus infection needs antibiotics. The providers on the platform make the right call — treating bacterial infections aggressively while avoiding unnecessary antibiotics for viral cases.
Amoxicillin or augmentin prescribed for confirmed or likely bacterial sinusitis.
Prescription nasal corticosteroid sprays to reduce inflammation and drainage.
Short-term oral or nasal decongestants to relieve pressure and congestion.
Nasal irrigation guidance — one of the most effective non-medication approaches.
Sinus infection treatment online — same-day antibiotics if needed
Most acute sinus infections are viral and resolve in 7-10 days with supportive care. Bacterial sinusitis — typically suspected with symptoms lasting >10 days, severe symptoms, or 'double sickening' — may benefit from antibiotic treatment. The FirstCall platform connects you with an independent, board-certified physician for symptom evaluation and, when bacterial infection is suspected, an antibiotic prescription sent to a pharmacy of your choice. Recurrent or chronic sinusitis may require in-person ENT evaluation.
