Any suggestions on how to get rid of a sinus infection without needing an antibiotic?
Posted by: Alan in sinus remedies, tags: Antibiotic, Infection, needing, Sinus, Suggestions, WithoutAntibiotics really mess up my bowels so even though I have a prescription for one, I don’t want to use it if I don’t have to. My main symptoms are a nagging cough and sore throat. I have sinus drainage in the back of my throat irritating the throat tissue. This is the 14th day. Any remedies would be greatly appreciated!

Use heavy doses of vitamin C with bromalein in it. It can be found in a health food store. Irigate your nasal passages with naturally based spray solutions. Be diligent with thses two and you may have success if the infection is not advanced to the point of discharge coming out of your nostrils. peace.

Try a Netipot. My family doctor suggested for a sinus infection.
It has worked for me in the past, is easy, and very low risk.

I have the same thing, I have now used anti-histamines, its fall season, this is the worst time… I found the post nasal drip, which is what you discribed, to be awful;
I use plain old Benydryl, but it tends to put some people to sleep so find one thats worthy of your size, needs and work day. During the day I like the Triaminic childs chewables, they work good and I can drive while using them. At night i use adult stength stuff. it might cause an overly dry stuffy nose, so maybe a combination thing that has both decongestion with the antihistamine, but its really the anti hist you need.
Also, increase the vit.’s C and E by a whole lot! They work together.

Here are some all-natural supplements that can be very helpful.
Vita-C: anti-inflammatory, thins mucus, decongestant, reduces histamine release
Alfalfa Complex: reduces effect of inflammatory endorphins, natural anti-histamine
Garlic Complex: reduce inflammation, natural sinus and nasal decongestant
Optiflora: builds immune system
Zinc Complex: promotes healing of nasal passages
Hope this is useful and feel free to contact me with questions or the website.

showers help some. but only anibiotics will cure it or it will get worse, I had a sinus infection for 2 solid years.
they can give you something to off set the bad effects of the antibiotic
