A member asked:
Is it possible for a bacterial sinus infection to resolve using sinus rinses without using antibiotics?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sometimes yes.: It is worth a try to clear it up with decongestants, postural drainage, and humidified air. Antibiotics are generally overused, in these cases.
