Treatment for sinus infection can begin from home just at the onset of it before it becomes chronic. Simple care at home can open the sinus nasal passage and improve their dryness. There should be much intake of hot liquid beverages to keep the dryness away. Inhalation with steamed water with a drop eucalyptus oils helps to a great extent.
For Sinus infection treatment doctors prescribe Expectorants that helps to push out the thick mucus from the nasal passage. The mucus becomes thin and it can easily flow out from the nose.
For sinusitis caused by virus infection, antibiotic cure is not necessary. Only acute sinus infection from bacteria is generally taken care of with antibiotic treatment. That is when there is much facial pain pus generation and other self care treatment does not seem to work. Medicines for pain such as ibuprofen, aspirin, and naproxen can lessen the pain and inflammation. These medications help to open the nasal passage by reducing inflammation.and must be able to kill the bacterial types. Medications like Amoxicillin (Amoxil) , cefaclor (Ceclor), loracarbef (Lorabid), clarithromycin (Biaxin), azithromycin (Zithromax), sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim (Bactrim, Septra) antibiotic may be used as first choices to treat sinus.

Bactrim DS, azithromycin, and Augmentin are all commonly prescribed for bacterial sinus infections.
Be aware, however, that most sinus infections are actually from a virus and not a bacteria. Antibiotics such as the ones listed above do not do anything for viral infections - the body defeats the virus all by itself and the antibiotic gets the credit!
That being said, you should consult with your doctor. I can't tell if you have a bacterial or a viral sinus infection but your doctor can probably figure it out.

I wouldn't take an antibiotic unless my doctor prescribed it specifically for me. Taking only a partial course could make your infection antibiotic resistant and then you'd be in serious trouble. Not only that, you might not even have a sinus infection or the doctor may know a better antibiotic for you.
