has anyone got a cure for sinusitis without taking antibiotics?

Answer 1

Not a cure, but a relief I take the generic DayQuill and NyQuill which really lets me do the things I need to in the daytime and to get a good nights sleep. It is not antibiotic.

Answer 2

That depends on what is causing the sinusitis. If it is bacterial sinusitis, antibiotics are necessary. If it is viral sinusitis, antibiotics won't do any good anyway. Have cultures been taken to determine the cause?

Answer 3

I've had success with accupuncture. My accupuncturist also prescribes herbs for this. It will take longer than an antibiotic but you won't have rebound and get it again and again.

I've found it very helpful to avoid situations where I've noticed it creates sinusitis -- things like housecleaning or painting. In these situations, I wear a face mask.

I got this advice and couldn't bring myself to do it. Take your Water Pik and put it on gentle flow. Then put salt water in the bowl and aim the Pik up your nose. The water drains down your throat and apparently the salt water has cleansing qualities.

Answer 4

both penicillins (amoxicillin and different illins. and so on) and cephalosporins (cefuroxime and different cefs) are ok for sinusitis. straight forward chilly measures are ok.. steam, vapour, painkillers, nasal decongestents and others. maximum situations of sinusitis are viral so antibiotics gained't be helping you. when you're suffering plenty you should pick a sinus wash out, executed through an ENT healthcare professional lower than GA. no longer pleasant yet no more suitable bouts of sinusitis

Answer 5

"Prepare a solution of sea salt --2 tea spoons of sea salt in 2 cups of boiled water. Inhale deeply through the nose in the morning and at night. Exhale through the mouth. Apply baby oil to each nostril after ward. Feel your condition disappear with each inhalation."--Recommended by The Ancient Healing Manuals.

Another healing method for sinusitis--"Shirodhara--is a form of Ayurveda medicine that involves gently flowing liquids over the forehead (the 'third eye'). It was developed by vaidyas (practitioners of Ayurveda) in Kerala, India for use in sukhachikitsa."--see wikipedia--sirodhara.

Also see wikipedia--sinusitis.

Chiropractic--alignment of the 2C vertebrae.

Metaphysical healing--see healing affirmation for sinusitis-- "Heal Your Body" --by Louise L. Hay--

Every bit helps but it does not suppose to replace the advice of your licenced health care professional. Good luck.

Answer 6

50 50 mix of warm water and hydrogen peroxide. It burns like hell and works great. Practice first with warm salt water and work your way up to the mix. I'm in a global deployment team andnever get a chance to aclamate to the local pollen, plus antibiotics would conflict with my flight status so the Docs showed us this trick. It's a bear the first couple of times, stand over a sink while you do this. After the first couple of tries you'll be ok and be amazed at what comes out of there.
