I think you are not getting well due to the stress of your fil passing. Stress really knocks down the immune system. Also, there are many sinus infections nowadays that do not respond to antibiotics. I know some docs who will not prescribe antibiotics for a sinus infection anymore. It is miserable, but in reality, when you fight off an infection without antibiotics, you are making your own antibodies to the bug and the next time you get that bug, your body will be better able to fight it off. Eventually, you may become immune to that particular bug. Antibiotics are great, but when they don't kill a bug, the only thing they are doing is keeping your own immune system from taking care of the bug.

Just take care of yourself - try to reduce the stress and sadness, eat well, drink plenty of fluids, sleep, don't overdo and your body should heal.
