Insufflating (snorting) amoxicillin? has anyone done that to treat sinusitis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
YIKES: Nasal nebulized antibiotics have been tried, but there's no good evidence that they're any better than oral antibiotics. Crushing and snorting antibiotics sounds like a bad idea. You'd probably wind up swallowing most of it, anyway.
