A member asked:
I tend to have chronic sinusitis, i have thick yellow mucus/post nasal drip yet no other symptoms how can i take care of this without antibiotics!
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See doctor: Saline irrigation daily may help , otherwise you will need to consult your doctor. Whether you may need antibiotic or not depends on how long you have had these symptoms and whether the infection is indeed a bacterial one (vs fungal or viral).
