Will Doxycycline Work For A Sinus Infection?
Posted by: Alan in Sinus Infection, tags: Doxycycline, Infection, Sinus, Will, Work
I’ve had a sinus infection for five days. Huge pressure, pressing on my teeth and now having ear pain – no congestion, only feels better when I take decongestants and ibuprofen. I know – go to the doctor. I’m uninsured and a starving artist, can’t afford it. I have some doxycycline left over (about 10 days worth)…will it work on my sinuses or will it just do nothing?

doxycycline is certainly not the drug of choice for acute bacterial sinusitis and using antibiotics inappropriately or when you aren’t sure you have a bacterial infection could just lead to even more resistant bugs. I wish I had an easy answer for you but many times getting proper treatment once ends up being more cost effective than trying to treat yourself and ending up with complications.

no, it won’t kill the bacteria in your sinuses.
THis will .
My husband uses this to keep from getting bronchitis, and I use to to cure sinus infections. THere are many kinds of bacteria that live in the sinuses, and this gets rid of all the bad ones!.This is the only thing that really helped me — my Dr. told me about a sinus wash that will kill bacteria.
you need
distilled water
sea salt
liquid chlorophyll and colloidal silver from the health food store.
in a glass mix 1/4 cup water with a pinch of salt and heat to body temperature.
add 5 drops each silver and chlorophyll and mix.
using a large dropper (like one used for infant medication) drop 2 full droppersfull into one side of the nose while laying down.
Turn the head and let it drain out the other nostril. Be sure to have paper towels handy.
The silver kills the bacteria and there are several hundred kind that can live in the sinus cavities and anti biotics don’t get rid of them all.
Do this twice a day for a week, mixing up the mixture fresh each time.
Then do it once a week for maintenance.
There is nothing in this that will hurt you, and it cured me.
I do not have to take claritin, or antibiotics anymore.
best wishes

I was giving doxycycline for a skin condition…. and took it twice a day for 18 months.
