Anyone have a sinus infection in third tri?

Unbelievable how exhausted I am from having sinus pressure on top of being pregnant and already congested! Tried to tame it with apple vinegar water and lemon and still not helping. Anyone been put on Amoxicillan hate to be on any meds and it's def my last resort but any other ideas?

I'm in my second trimester and am on the tail end of a sinus infection. It's been awful. I am also on Augmentin, which is another name for the one you are on. It is helping and clearing things up. Something that has helped tremendously, especially before bed is the sinus rinse bottle or the neti pot, it helps break up and clear out that infection. You can add golden-seal powder or zylotol powder to the mixture and it will boost white blood cells to fight bacteria and infection. Drinking Echinacea tea is also very good and can be used several times a day. I pray you get over this soon! Yay that your bundle of joy is coming soon!

Try  using a Netti pot and some herbal teas, you can also try mucinex I did it for a few days to help clear up my sinuses when I had a major infection in my second trimester, it took longer than I wanted to clear up but it did work on it own.
