I would say your husband needs medical treatment for 2 things.
(1.)  The sinus infections - it sounds like the augmentin is not working.  Is
there a stronger drug the doctor can diagnose for sinus infections?  Once the
infection is cleared up can your husband be put on allergy medications so he
doesn't develop sinus infections in the future.  I take Allegra and a nasal
spray Astelin - these are both to keep my allergies in check, which in turn
stop a secondary infection (sinus infection).  I take the meds daily.

(2.)  Your hubby needs to see a neurologist about getting his seizure disorder
under control.  He is having a seizure.  See this chart

Do any of the symptoms seem familiar?  There are many different types of
seizures and people can have more than one type of seizure.

You asked about my personal experience.  I have had epilepsy since I was a
teenager.  I have tonic clonic seizures (grand mal) but I have experienced
other types of seizures which include a strange feeling, deja vu feeling,
extreme anxiety.  My seizures are under control now, I take medication for
epilepsy daily, I watch what I eat and pay attention to how I am feeling.

As far as how long the sinus problem lasted, It probably depends on how severe
the infection became.  I remember one time I went to the doctor feeling like I
was going to die.  He looked at me and said there was not an infection.  But I
told him I felt like I was going to die.  He said "I believe you".  Then he
told me to try the Astelin.  He gave me a sample in the doctor's office.
Before my husband got me to the house I noticed a big difference.  My head
began to drain.  The doctor also changed my medication from claritin to
allegra.  That seemed to be what I needed to clear up my head and take the
pressure off my sinus.

I am not saying that the sinus infection caused my seizures.  It is just a
contributing factor.  The same way a cold or flu might contribute to how I am
feeling.  When I was a teen I had seizures during the time of my period, but I
think that was more related to hormones.

Let us know how things go for your hubby.

Just my experience to share.  I had a pituitary tumor removed in July
of '98.  They had to cut through the back of my sinuses to access the
pituitary gland.  They sewed a plastic-like splint through the middle
of my nose with semi-circular tubes for me to breathe through.  I
believe it was Augmentin I had to take to prevent infection, but no
seizures occurred.  My neuro. said the tumor could not have triggered
any seizures, even though I have severe epilepsy.

Please follow up later, I sure would like to find out any more info.
