A member asked:
Do i have to have an antibiotic if i'm sneezing out yellow mucous?

Not necessarily: If no fever, one sided cheek pain or worsening symptoms over 7-10 days, an antibiotic is nonindicated. Visit a physician if new symptoms and if you smoke it changes everything i just told you.

Generally not: Won't help for viral or many bacterial sinusitis. May be harmful.
