Can I take antibiotics if I have hepatitis A?

Hello, after having eaten a food that was recalled by the public health, I contracted hepatitis A. I have had several symptoms for 1 month now. In addition to all that, I now have a sinusitis.

Hello, thank you for your question! The vast majority of sinusitis is viral in origin and resolves itself after 10-14 days. However, the diagnosis of sinusitis must be made by a physician If an antibiotic is prescribed, your pharmacist will undoubtedly analyze your file to verify if the prescribed treatment is compatible with your health condition. If you would like some help with your symptoms while waiting to see a doctor (if deemed necessary), I invite you to consult your pharmacist who will personalize a consultation for you and may suggest a product. I hope this helps, and if you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me! Tom Samaha, pharmacist
