Is it possible to heal a sinus infection without antibiotics?

I've found many nasal sprays that alleviate the problem for a day or so, but it always comes back.

Answer 2

Yes! Garlic is a great natural antibiotic. Try taking it raw or if you can't handle that try garlic capsules. Goldenseal also works well but try not to take it for more than 3 weeks. Kadzu also works really well for sinus infections. Drink plenty of fluids cranberry juice, orange juice and water are best. Make sure you get a lot of rest and keep your head propped up. Use plain saline nose drops, if you have trouble finding it in the medicine aisle check out the baby aisle. There is a product I think called Simply Noses?
Neti Pots also work well. If you have a vaporizer add a few drops of tea tree oil, eucalyptus oil or peppermint oil they all work great at clearing out sinus. Don't forget to take a multivitamin when you are not feeling well.

I'm beginning to wonder if it's possible to heal one WITH antibiotics. I've been on antibiotics for 10 days and still am having trouble. I plan on going back to the doctor soon and see what's up.

I've ordered some oreganol? (can't remember the name). I'm going to try it. The reason is I know a woman who had terrible infections and she started wild oregano, and hasn't had one in years.

I figure it wouldn't hurt to try it. Try oregon grape root tincture. I've heard it's good for sinusitis. Since I'm on the medicine, I'm not going to try herbals until I'm off of it.

Another thing is to try bromelain and papaya enzyme. They help shrink the sinus passages and also thin the mucous. An M.D. on the web suggested these.

I wish you the best. Sinus infections are miserable.

Answer 4

Yes, it is possible. There are a combination of herbs from the Amazon Rainforest that have Anti-bacterial properties that are good on the drug resistant bacteria. The multiherb capsule is called Amazon C-F capsules offered by Rain-tree.com at a reasonable price. Just take the caps about three times day for two weeks straight. Amazon C-F works on Bacterial and some Viral infections such as the Cold or the Flu.
Amazon C-F is a good product to have around.

Answer 5

I get sinus infections about twice a year and I NEVER take antibiotics for it. Just keep up with drinking fluids, take a mulit-vitamin, take extra Vitamin C and Zinc. Get an OTC remedy to help with your symptoms and you will be fine. Unless it is a really nasty infection, usually they clear up on their own.

Answer 6

One thing and one thing only...XanGo Juice! This stuff is amazing! I used to have sinus infections everyday and I started taking this juice and I haven't had a problem since. It tastes great too. And its a lot cheaper than buying a bunch of nasal sprays that only alleviate the problem.

Answer 7

Yes definitely!

garlic contains a powerful anti-fungal and anti-bacterial compound called Allicin. get raw wild garlic and chew it every day until the sinus infection is gone. its a bit nauseating but it seriously gets the job done.

not only can it clear a completey blocked nose, which i found nasal sprays are hopeless for, but it stops the infection and keeps it away.

then if you get slippery elm and make it into a drink daily it can help to stop you getting the problem again.

Answer 8

I have read that antibiotics NEVER cure a sinus infection.
Many sinus infections can be prevented by avoiding refined sugar, all dairy products, and anything made with flour.

Answer 9

Get a neti pot, and use it 5 or 6 times a day for at least 4 days. It will flush all of the infected junk out of your sinuses, and the saline will prevent the bacteria from growing back.

You can pick up the SinuCleanse system at any CVS, next to the cold and allergy meds.

Other than that, ginger, garlic, green tea, and chicken soup... and lots of it.

Answer 10

you may want to try a light salt flush through your nose.place enough salt into a warm water solution(just barely taste the salt) place the solution in each nostril until full.hold for 10 to 20 seconds.clear nose and gargle to get all the crap out of your throat.do this 3 times per day till you kill the infection.1 to 2 days.works for me.

Answer 11

try a good mixture of saline solution ,look in the pharmacy section and ask.
