Amoxicillin-clavulanate was no more effective than placebo in quickly relieving symptoms in patients diagnosed clinically with acute sinusitis in a general practice setting. It was, however, much more likely to cause diarrhea. Because most patients will improve spontaneously, antibiotics should be reserved for patients with prolonged symptoms. An inexpensive, narrow-spectrum drug such as amoxicillin is a good initial choice.
