I have had a mild headache, low grade temperature and sore throat for 8 days, awaiting results of a throat culture.

Will a throat culture confirm a sinus infection?
I have sinus infections at least 2 times a year and my Dr. is always skeptical but prescribes antibiotics anyway.

Hi,
I am not sure if the throat test will confirm the sinus infection but will show if you have and what kind of infection do you have. So the good thing for you is that you went to do the test and sooner you know diagnose you can start the treatment. Have you used any kind of medication during these few days? Do you have a runny nose? The symptoms that you have indicate sinus infection but this could also be some other thing. I think that you should boost your immune system with vitamin C. Your immune system seems to be weak and the infection is making an effort to destabilize you as much as it can.
