Antibiotics for Sinus Infections

[lightNlife]

Although it is a nasal steroid and won't wipe out an infection, Vancenase has worked well for me. It's a prescription nasal spray. When I've been on it it has opened me up well enough that I can get a good saline flush going through my sinuses. It doesn't dry me out too much either (like something with alcohol would) so I don't get nosebleeds with it.

Here's an "off label" use of cipro that has worked according to some other CFers I confab with <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> Crush the cipro into a fine powder and snort a line of it. (I can't believe I'm even suggesting that, but heck, if you've already been prescribed the drug you might as well use it in a way that actually benefits your body. )

If the 'regular' abx doctors give you for a sinus infection don't work i think the best thing is to do a culture. And see what abx are good for the infection that is acting up. It could be that the bateria that is/are there are resistent to Augmentin.

Sorry if i said something that has already been said

Good luck! i hope you'll feel better soon

Love, Marjolein

If you get a sinus puncture, let me know how that goes......

Very few people will resort to that because it hurts so incredibly badly, but if you do, I'd love to hear all about it! (not sarcastic, but just curiosity)
