Chronic/Acute Sinus infections

HI:  I have tried three antibotics and still have sinus infection.  One of the antibotics was Levaquin 250 mg. twice daily.  I also tried a synthetic pencillin Ceftin for 1 day and got a swelling.  .  I am very sensitive to penicillin   I have taken antibotics now for 15 days.  I have been given 3 samples of Levaquin 500 mg.  I have never dealt with a sinus infection before and, what I experienced with the 500 mg. Levaquin, was different than the 250 twice a day.  I felt like I had a very bad flu with some body aching, feeling of sooo cold, some chills.  Is this common with a sinus infection, or can it be the antibotic (antibiotic)?  I am petite size and about 100 lbs.  Thanks so much.

saw your post over at the cough&cold forum.

you may be having a viral infection rather than bacterial
