What is the best treatment for sinusitis?

Sinusitis Rx: Sinusitis is primarily treated with an antibiotic like amoxcillin. Other treatments may include a decongestant, either oral or a nose spray (either otc afrin (oxymetazoline) or a prescribed steroid nose spray like flonase). If you use an otc nose spray, be sure to use it only for 3 days.

Decongestants: The best treatment is a good decongestant and whatever you can do to drain the sinuses. Antibiotics aren't recommended except for severe or long-lasting cases.

Sinusitis: Hello, the “best” treatment for sinusitis depends on its severity, past treatments, symptoms and whether it is acute, subacute, recurrent acute or chronic. Over the counter recommendations include saline nasal/sinus rinse followed by an intranasal steroid like generic Flonase. A med like ibuprofen is helpful to reduce inflammation and pain. Sudafed can also be used for congestion. See your doc too
