If it is the flu you are suffering from antibioticsi [2] won't help because its a viral infection.   The CAPi [1] treats bacterial respiratory infectionsi [8] such as chronic sinusitis and therefore you should not need any other antibiotics, Cpni [3] is afterall primarily a respiratory infection. 

Sinusitis is one of my complaints, and even after two years of antibiotics Rifampicin will make my sinuses ache, will make me sneeze and at times brings on a cough.

Here's a totally subjective take on your situation: if I had the flu, I sure wouldn't pulse. Fight one thing at a time. Your body can only do so much. As for sinusitis, I'd go to a doctor if it was truly a secondary infection due to the flu and see what the ent doc says about which antibioticsi [2] are best.

If it really is the flu?  I have that feeling lots & find it is difficult to determine if I have caught a virus or if it is actually die off symptoms.  If it is the latter I boost up the remedies for releasing the toxins.

I too have the sinus issues from treatment & they really become apparent during pulse times.

Maybe, to be on the safe side, I think I might just hold off on the pulse, increase antioxidantsi [16] to boost the immunei [17] system.

Good luck
