What Is The Remedy For Sinus Infection And Sore Throat Other Than Antibiotics?
Hi I've got a sinus infection with a slight sore throat. I am bringing up a bit of yellow mucus esp in the mornings. I can't take antibiotics because I have a very sensitive stomach. I just started using nasonex,saline spray and saline gargle. Can I get rid of this without antibiotics or will it develop into something more dangerous?

hai,
As if you got the infection because of bacterial origin depends upon the severity of the condition and duration it should be treated with antibiotics.
if the infection is viral borne,there is no need for any antibiotics and symptomatic treatment advised.
you can go for lab investigation to treat with proper treatment protocol with the help of throat swab culture and nasal swab culture will rule out the cause for your sinusitis and throat problem.
certain type of bacterial infection will lead to heart and joint problems.
consult an ENT specialist for further management and treatment.
thank you
hope i answered your query
