A member asked:

What is the best treatment for sinus infections? i have had a couple sinus infections in the past. i had different treatments each time. is there any one treatment that is better or quicker?

Dr. G Funari answered

Typically : Typically bacterial sinus infections are managed with antibiotics. There are several antibiotic options depending upon your sensitivity and suspected infective agent. Severe chronic sinus problems may be managed with surgical procedures to improve drainage or remove the lining of the sinus.
