Sinus Infection Remedy

The best sinus infection remedy includes sinus irrigation and medications. Treatment depends on sinus headache symptoms. After an examination, the diagnosis may be confirmed by X-rays or a CT of the sinuses. This does not, however, have to delay treatment if the diagnosis is clear cut.

Most often, a short course of antibiotics will clear up the infection and your doctor will choose the most appropriate therapy for you. Generally treatment should be between 7-10 days. If the infection is severe, treatment should be from 14-21 days.

Why is this? The sinuses have no vascular system to carry medications to them. Medication must diffuse in slowly and that can take longer to build up a level of antibiotic that is therapeutic.

Decongestants will also help in this case as will humidified air.

Remember, mild congestion is NOT necessarily a sinus infection. In fact, many people confuse this with migraine.

Many people find that when faced with a sinus infection, or even congestion, product such as the SinuCleanse System, Neti Pot With Salt Packets can help clean out the sinuses and flush away mucus associated with the infection.
