Sinus Infection FAQ

Clear answers about online GP consultations for sinus infection symptoms, sinus pain, blocked nose, pressure headaches, antibiotics, prescriptions, medical certificates, and urgent warning signs.

Can an online GP help with sinus infection symptoms?

+
Yes. An online GP can assess sinus infection symptoms such as facial pressure, blocked nose, thick nasal discharge, sinus headache, cough, post-nasal drip, and worsening congestion. The doctor can provide advice, treatment guidance, prescriptions where clinically appropriate, and referral advice if in-person care is needed.

Can I get antibiotics for a sinus infection online?

+
Antibiotics may be prescribed online only if the GP believes they are clinically appropriate. Many sinus infections are viral and do not need antibiotics, but bacterial sinusitis may require treatment depending on symptom duration, severity, fever, worsening symptoms, and medical history.

How do I know if my sinus infection is bacterial or viral?

+
Viral sinus symptoms often improve gradually within several days. Bacterial sinusitis may be considered when symptoms last longer than expected, worsen after initial improvement, or involve severe facial pain, fever, thick discharge, or persistent pressure. An online GP can help assess the likely cause and next steps.

When should I see a doctor for sinus pain or pressure?

+
You should speak with a GP if sinus pain, facial pressure, congestion, headache, or nasal discharge is severe, persistent, worsening, or affecting sleep and daily function. You should also seek medical advice if symptoms return frequently or do not improve with usual care.

Can I get a medical certificate for a sinus infection online?

+
Yes. If clinically appropriate after assessment, an online GP may issue a medical certificate for sinus infection symptoms affecting your ability to work, study, or attend normal duties.

Can sinus infection cause headache, facial pain, or blocked nose?

+
Yes. Sinus infections and sinus inflammation can cause facial pressure, forehead pain, cheek pain, blocked nose, reduced smell, post-nasal drip, cough, fatigue, and pressure headaches. Symptoms may worsen when bending forward or lying down.

What treatments may help sinus infection symptoms?

+
Treatment depends on the cause and severity of symptoms. Options may include saline nasal rinses, nasal sprays, pain relief, hydration, rest, allergy management, or prescriptions where clinically appropriate. Antibiotics are not always needed and should only be used when indicated.

What sinus symptoms need urgent medical care?

+
Seek urgent care if you develop swelling around the eyes, vision changes, severe headache, confusion, neck stiffness, high fever, severe facial swelling, shortness of breath, chest pain, or symptoms that rapidly worsen. These may indicate a more serious condition requiring immediate assessment.
