I went to my ENT on Monday, she did a scope of my sinuses and today I was told I have soem sort of encepholitis. I was prescribed Augmentin, 2 pills twice a day. I have been sick since November 2011. SHould I be concerned? The nurse said this was a common illness
Hi, I suspect there was a slight bit of miscommunication/misunderstanding of what was going on since encephalitis cannot be diagnosed using a scope into the sinuses.  However, sinusitis can be diagnosed in that way and would also explain why you were given the antibiotic.  Encephalitis is a serious illness which requires hospitalization, and it would be doubtful you would even be able to think clearly let alone write a question such as this on a computer if that's what you really had.  Don't forget to Chat Doctor.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
