Question about Keflex...

[joe bigboy]

i've had a bad sinus infection for the past 2 weeks. the drainage has cause my throat and tonsils to hurt like hell, i mean really hurt not just sore. anyway a buddy of mine had about a weeks worth of Keflex left from when he had to take it for something. my question is. is Keflex a choice of antibiotic for this type of problem?
Thank You

Most antibiotic will work for anything bacterial. It get complicated when the bacteria you have has a built in defense to the drug you are using.
