Sinusitis: If you have a sinus infection(draining discolored mucus), i'm sure your md will recommend antibiotics in view of the duration of your symptoms. With clear nasal drainage(allergies, vasomotor rhinitis) corticosteroid nasal sprays along with antihistamine tablets and decongestants may help you. With sinusitis, irrigations of the nasal passages to promote good drainage is important.
