Re: when you can't take antibiotics

[Guest guest]

I had chronic sinus infections for years and antibiotics are rarely

helpful in the long-term, only about 5% of sinus infections are caused

by bacteria but the drs. Rx antibiotics because it's easy. You may need

to look at dietary and/or homeopathic type changes (ie inhaling steam

with tea tree oil in it) - you can also get a Neil-Med system. My nasal

surgeon told me about it, I got it right at the drugstore and use it

every night and LOVE it. It's a nasal irrigation system.

I use a neti pot, it's the same thing and works great. I read that a

percentage of sinus infections are fungal infections, so antibiotics

could make them work.
