British Study Shows Antibiotics Not Effective Against Sinus Infections
By Mike Harader
A new British study has shown that antibiotics, the common prescription of doctors for sinus infections, may not help to cure sinusitis. In this new study, people who were suffering from sinus infection symptoms including runny nose with green or yellow mucus, generally got better in about two weeks whether or not they took antibiotics or not.
Antibiotics such as Amoxicillin are some of the most commonly prescribed medicines for sinus infections.

The study appears in Wednesday's Journal of the American Medical Association.
Physicians may now start to focus on other sinus infection remedies such as steam inhalation, or natural sinus infection sprays to treat the symptoms of a sinus infection.
During the study, researchers also treated a group of sinus sufferers with common steroid sprays and the results were the same as those for antibiotics.
