A member asked:
Could acupuncture provide relief for sinus and ear pain that has not been helped by meds?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Acupuncture: This treatment modality is ancient in origin, but has been found to have some utility when tested by modern science. It is used with some success on today's battlefields as a pain control adjunct for the wounded. I cannot predict whether it would work for your particular problem, but the downside risks are very low.

Yes: I have had good success using acupuncture for maxillary and frontal sinus pain and ear pain. However, it should be noted that acupuncture will not replace antibiotics if there is a bacterial infection.
