I found high dose "C" helps back off sore throat for me. Epsom salt helps acid reflux. Good luck.

When taking anti-biotics is not good for anyone's body it's only a temp. situation for a perm. problem, by using other chemicals your adding insult to injury, most peoples bodies are like self cleaning oven's(they need a rest too) yet sometimes if & when we may need a boost or two, I try to stick with herbs but be sure to do your foot work/ask a whole lot of questions first. Good luck

I decided not to give him the antibiotics. He has been doing sinus rinses with saline. So far no worsening of "symptoms". I put that in quotes because he had no nasal discharge to begin with, just headaches and nose bleeds. My radiologist friend did not think these were related to the scarring she saw on the xrays. Thanks for the feedback!
blessings, cw

Cold medications causing sinus infections:
I am absolutely loathe to take any kind of medication. I've caught the plague that was being shared throughout my group of friends. First was the strep like symptoms, with severely swollen glands, sore throat, and fever. Then the flu like symptoms: chills, body aches, low grade fever, sneezing, etc. Then my sinuses became so congested that my ears have been blocked for three days. I became so frustrated by the ear blockage, that I finally decided to take some guaifenesin to thin the mucus and hopefully unblock my ears.
Well, the ears are still blocked and now instead of the clear and free flowing mucus I had before, I have thick brownish yellow mucus, with bloody flecks in it. My sinuses are in serious pain. I wish I had looked further into remedies before going with the cold medicine. I'll be trying the ACV once I get home from work.

General comment about sinus infection... Don't forget to try colloidal silver into the sinus cavity. I use an ear syringe to shoot the silver solution way back into the recesses. One good squirt on each side of perhaps a half teaspoon amount in each application. Then ten minutes later do it again. Most infections will be gone in four or five applications. Some viruses are especially hard and you might have to apply for a week or longer. You will likely feel a burning especially on one side where the infection is dominate. If you know someone who home makes the colloidal silver get a bottle from them as the quality is going to be stronger than the brands at the store. If the infection has gone to the lungs, get a good steam maker that is made to fit onto the face so you can breath the silver solution deeply. Do this three or four times daily for about five days. The silver will keep the infection from going further. Breath in deeply the steam for at least five minutes per sitting.
If you suspect a systemic infection you will have to drink the silver in 8 oz doses twice a day on an empty stomach for up to six months. Properly diluted no tinting of the skin will take place. If you have had a serious infection in the past such as chronic ear infection; strep; mono and you never really got your strength back and then persistent headaches such as migraines four or five times a week, then suspect viral miningitus. You will have to be on silver solution for a year or longer. Remember viral miningitus is not a "single" virus but can be any virus that has gotten to the brain. I have had "patients" apply silver solution with drops of DMSO as a peretrator/ carrier soaked into a WHITE paper towel and applied as a poultice to the back of the neck at base of skull twice daily for four days a week for months to try to get the silver to the brain. This is done only if you believe that you did not recover from a serious infection such as listed above and other symptoms demonstrate that the virus is in the brain. For such a serious condition you will also be drinking the solution for months until symptoms are gone. Keep it up until the virus is truly killed. Men may find an added benefit. Some find that frequent urination is reduced with drinking silver solution on an empty stomach. (4 oz to 8 oz. Twice a day)
