What are the treatments for sinusitis?

A very helpful over the counter treatment for sinusitis is Argentyn 23 Silver Nose Spray. In low doses, silver is an anti-infectious agent against both viral and bacterial infections. Silver also works well in combination with the prescription sinusitis nose spray, and they are wonderful in combination. It contains bactroban, bismuth, and xylitol, which kill the bacterial infections (and clinically appear to even fight biofilm infections), low dose cortisol to shrink the swelling, and an antifungal. Use 1 to 2 sprays in each nostril twice a day for 6-12 weeks while on the Diflucan. That is usually enough to knock out the sinusitis, although some patients like to stay on it long term or use it intermittently for recurrent infections.

To get to the root of sinus infections, and eliminate them, treat the underlying fungal/Candida infections. Sinusitis, even chronic, usually responds dramatically to yeast treatment with Diflucan for 6-12 weeks.

Eucalyptus oil provides a wonderful penetrating vapor that does not have the tendency to irritate like menthol. Eucalyptus smells great, and has been used for centuries to clear stuffy airways, shrink nasal swelling and reduce secretion of mucus - fast and without causing sedation.

Nasal rinses using 1/4-1/2 tsp of salt per cup of lukewarm water will wash billions of bacteria down the sink so your body doesn't have to fight them.

Avoid antibiotics. Sinus infections likely exist in what are called "biofilms." Antibiotics turn short term sinus infections into chronic ones (and oral antibiotics don't work).
