Hi I was diagnosed with ethmoid sinusitis disease. Why is disease attached to diagnosis? The ENT put me on an antibiotic called cefdinir 300 mg. Is this the correct type of antibiotic that i should be on? The doctor feels that if it doesnt help come back and will talk. Mean while if been back and fourth 4 times and the problem hasnt gone away. Ive had Ct scan and MRI and Doctor doesnt think there is a problem even though both CT and  MRI both say its mild to moderate ethmoid sinusitus disease. Every day I have a headache and pressure by eyes,nose etc.. Please write back and let me know what I should be doing.
