A member asked:
Can i take mucinex (guaifenesin) for sinusitis? if not is there any other over-the-counter medicine alternative to clindomycin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
They're different.: Clindamycin is an antibiotic that is not commonly used for initial treatment of sinusitis. Mucinex (guaifenesin) is a medication that may help you because it loosens thick mucus. Also try a decongestant like pseudoephedrine (e.g., Sudafed) and saline sinus rinses for best results. It is not recommended to start antibiotics for sinusitis unless not improving after 7 days.
