Sinus infection, remicade, antibiotics

Hey Everyone
Hope your all doing well!
So... I have been having terrible constant headaches and lightheadness for the past 2 weeks. Went to the doc on friday and he said I have sinus infection, and that its in my ear also, hence the dizziness. He wanted to prescribe antibiotics, but the last time I took them , in 2008, I had a terrible flare, that only really stopped when I got on remicade. Now since I am on remicade now and it's last resort before surgery, I am very hesitant to take them again, but don't want the infection to spread.

They did an Xray of my sinuses to see if its bacterial or viral, and I should have the results tomorrow. If it turns out that I have to take antibiotics, I'll probably take more probiotics and hope for the best. I am already taking water kefir, so I guess I could take twice the amount I usually take. I was wondering if any of you have any advice, I am kinda scared to flare again, and the possibility of having to have surgery worries me :(

Thanks everyone, and Merry Xmas :)

I've had to do a couple rounds of antibiotics this year and haven't flared. However, knowing what antibiotics can do I quadrupled the amount of probiotic I normally take (and remember to take 2-3 hours after the antibiotic) and upped my oral and rectal meds too to be on the safe side. I had looser stool toward the end of one of the rounds and a tiny bit of mucous for a day or two but it resolved fairly quickly. Good luck.
