Not necessarily: Antibiotics play a large role in the medical treatment of chronic sinusitis, but other medicines also used. Nasal steroids and, at times, oral steroids are very helpful as well. In some patients, antihistamines or mucolytics such as Mucinex (guaifenesin) are very helpful. Nasal irrigation with saline solutions has been shown to be very helpful in chronic sinus patient.
