How to get over a sinus infection fast?

Okay, I have a sinus infection, had it for about 3 days now, and its really getting to me. Does anybody have any advice on how to get over it fast because I have to take the ACT tomar.

Usually with a sinus infection you have to take antibiotics. It won't go away by itself. Make a Doctor's appointment or go to an Urgent Care Center so you can get started on some medication.

Some over the counter claritan and alka seltzer works for me

antibiotics do not work well for sinus infections since little blood gets to the infection.

Rinsing the sinuses with salt water often allows you to overcome sinus infections. If you are prone to sinus infections you should irrigate your sinuses prophalactically.

There are a number of ways to accomplish this. I use a device called a Neti pot. I use a pint of luke warm water with a tsp each of non-iodized sea salt and baking soda. My wife uses a bulb syringe for the same purpose because she thinks it rinses sinuses more thouroughly. I don't like the bulb syringe because it isn't as comfortable and salt water goes down my throat.

Rinsing sinuses with salt water is also good for alergies. I found a daily rinse works much better than perscription sprays when seasonal allergies cause sinus problems.

Antibiotics May Not Aid Sinus Infections

This new British study claims antibiotics didn't help sinus infections anymore than the placebo. However I don't believe it! I've had sinus problems for over 20 years and every time I take antibiotics for it they've relieved the symptoms. But you might want to read the article anyway.
