Sinus infection treatment online

SINUS TREATMENT ONLINE

Get a prescription to treat your sinus infection

We set up Lemonaid to make it simple to get the convenient affordable medical care you need regardless of insurance, and sinus infections are one of the most common health problems.

With our sinus treatment service you can have a same day online visit. Our doctors or nurse practitioners can work out if you’ve got a sinus infection. Most sinus infections are caused by viruses, but some are caused by bacteria. Viral infections typically get better within a week without treatment. If we think you have a bacterial infection that’s safe to treat online, we can give you a prescription.

SAME DAY PHARMACY PICK-UP

Pick-up your medicine at your local pharmacy today.

Assuming it’s safe to give you a prescription, our doctors or nurse practitioners will send your prescription to your local pharmacy electronically same day during business hours.

You can choose any pharmacy in your state. The sinus treatment we typically prescribe costs $4 at Walmart.

You pay the pharmacy for your medicines, not us. We’re an online doctor’s office, not a mail order pharmacy.

HOW SINUSITIS VISITS WORK

Requesting a prescription takes a few minutes. It’s easier than you think.

Answer health questions

These questions cover your medical history, symptoms, current medicines, and allergies. It’s important to answer them truthfully.

Select pharmacy

Select any pharmacy in your state. We send your prescription electronically. You’ll pay for the medicine at the pharmacy.

Pay visit fee

Pay the visit fee to us. Later you’ll pay for the medicine at the pharmacy.

Medical review - 24 hour

One of our doctors or nurse practitioners will review everything. In some states you'll have an immediate video call with our team, in others we just need to give you a call.

Pharmacy pick up

If appropriate, we’ll send you a message when we send your prescription to the pharmacy. The message contains an important link to your treatment plan.

AFFORDABLE ANTIBIOTICS FOR A SINUS INFECTION

Antibiotics for a sinus infection are low cost even without insurance.

We typically prescribe a 10-day course of the antibiotic amoxicillin. It costs $4 at Walmart pharmacies without insurance, or $20 at other drugstores. If you are allergic to amoxicillin or penicillin, then we typically prescribe a 10-day course of the antibiotic doxycycline.

If you have insurance, your insurance should cover the sinus antibiotics we prescribe.

We don’t prescribe Azithromycin, Zithromax or the Z-pak because the latest medical evidence shows there’s too much resistance to it and it’s not good medical practice to prescribe it.

Email medical records

If you have a primary care provider, it’s important to keep them informed.

Go to your account to email a summary of the care we provide so you can share this information with your doctors or nurse practitioners. Or, contact us if you want us to send the summary of your care to your doctors or nurse practitioners. It's important that we're part of your overall care, not separated from it.
