Alternatives to Amoxil for Sinus Infections

Consider Augmentin, another antibiotic often effective against bacteria causing sinus infections. If your infection is mild, your doctor might suggest a nasal spray containing saline or a corticosteroid to reduce inflammation and clear congestion. This approach often suffices for less severe cases.

Alternative Treatments

For bacterial infections unresponsive to antibiotics, your doctor may explore other options, possibly including different antibiotics with broader coverage. If your sinus infection is viral (more common), focus on symptom relief with over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen or acetaminophen, and decongestants. Plenty of rest and hydration are also key to recovery. Remember to consult your doctor for diagnosis and treatment plan; self-treating can be harmful.
