I am experiencing sinus pain and green mucus. will it heal without antibiotics?

Bacterial vs viral? : Many times the symptoms you describe will simply be viral in nature and will resolve with time and conservative care. However, if the symptoms include fever, chills, pain etc then you may want to be properly evaluated for a possible bacterial infection that will require further treatment such as antibiotics. I would recommend a proper evaluation if these symptoms are present.
