Question 1

how do you cure sinus infections?

Accepted Answer

See an ENT doc !: Sinus infections are frequently caused by allergies or the inability of the sinus to drain properly.  If the sinus isn't draining properly, and this is the sole reason for your chronic infections, the ENT surgeon will often make the draining hole of the sinus larger.  This allows adequate drainage of the sinus which greatly reduces the number of infections. Keep smiling !

Question 5

i keep sinus infections and levaquin (levofloxacin) doesn't fully get rid of them so is monodox the cure all my dr claims?

Accepted Answer

Sorry, no cure-all: Recurrent sinusitis usually isn&#x27;t the result only of infection. Typically allergy or partial blockage of a sinus opening is responsible for recurrent infections. Either levofloxacin (Levaquin) or doxycycline (Monodox) is likely to help any particular infection, but neither is better than the other, and probably neither would prevent all infections unless allergy or blockage is also cleared up.
