Try your native herb: Most such infections are viral and thus antibiotics usually don't help. One of my favorite treatments for URI's and sinusitis is a herb native to South African, pelargonium sidoides, used as a folk remedy for many generations and now proven effective by research. It's sold under the name Umcka in the US, don't know how it's sold in its native country! See http://tinyurl.com/ztoepsy
