Treating Sinusitis The Right Way

Robotic prostatectomy surgeon, Dr. David Samadi, discusses the prevalence of antibiotic overuse, particularly in the treatment of sinus conditions and sinusitis. Sinus inflammation is causes by a build up of mucus in the sinus cavities, though 90% of those infections are viral and are not treatable with antibiotics. Allergies are also a major factor in sinus conditions. Dr. Samadi encourages patients to explore home remedies for sinus irritation such as hot shower steam, warm tea or chicken soup, and over-the-counter medications such as Mucinex or saline nose sprays. If symptoms persist for more than 10 days and are accompanied by a fever of more than 101 degrees and green-colored mucus, then a trip to the doctor for a prescription may be warranted.
