Can nasal rinsing be used in place of antibiotics for my sinus infection?
We recommend that you consult your doctor or medical professional when deciding whether to use antibiotics for any purpose such as dealing with a sinus infection. Each year, millions of antibiotic prescriptions are written for symptoms of upper respiratory infections. Although antibiotics can be lifesaving when used appropriately, many upper respiratory symptoms can be treated as effectively without the potential dangers of antibiotic use. Nasal rinsing is an effective, all-natural, drug-free way to cleanse the nose and help control sinus and nasal symptoms. It promotes and maintains sinonasal health without affecting the rest of your body and without the worry of any long term problems related to its use.
