Drugs don't help most sinus infections, says study

Are standard sinus infections really assisted by all those prescription antibiotic medications that seem to line many feet of a standard pharmacy shelf?

Nope, according to a new study out of Britain. In a somewhat scathing review of many prescription antibiotic products, the study concluded that these really don't help sinus conditions as advertised and as prescribed.

How were these results determined? Those with sinus infections saw them cleared up within a few weeks regardless of if each observed patient took a standard antibiotic (like amoxicillin) or a fake antibiotic product.

Is the body's own immune system efficient enough to get rid of a sinus infection? That's the thought coming out of reading this study.
