While it's safe to give, it will not cure or treat Emma's sinusitis. That will requires antibiotics and other medications the vet deems necessary based on her symptoms, and I would have her seen by a vet first thing in the morning. Given that she is a senior dog. any infection should be medically treated as soon as possible. It won't hurt to give it to her in conjunction with medications from the vet.
