Sinus Infection?

Okay, I asked a question about pressure in my head, and some think I have a sinus infection.

I've had a history of these, and I've always had yellow mucus. I do not have that now, and I've only ran low grade fevers maybe 3 times. I'm actually feeling better, so can it go away on its own?

What happens if it's not treated with antibiodics? I dont have insurance, and it seems like whatever it is, is going away, so I wont be going to a doc unless it gets worse. Can it go away on its own?

    If it is a bacterial sinus infection (vs. viral) it will not go away on it's own. Try over the counter sinus pressure relievers and try a hot shower, sometimes these things can open the cavities.

    The only things that really helped me was when my Dr. told me about a sinus wash that will kill bacteria.

    you need

    distilled water

    sea salt

    liquid chlorophyll and colloidal silver from the health food store.

    in a glass mix 1/4 cup water with a pinch of salt and heat to body temperature.

    add 5 drops each silver and chlorophyll and mix.

    using a large dropper (like one used for infant medication) drop 2 full droppersfull into one side of the nose while laying down.

    Turn the head and let it drain out the other nostril. Be sure to have paper towels handy.

    The silver kills the bacteria and there are several hundred kind that can live in the sinus cavities and anti biotics don't get rid of them all.

    Do this twice a day for a week, mixing up the mixture fresh each time.

    Then do it once a week for maintenance.

    There is nothing in this that will hurt you, and it cured me.

    I do not have to take claritin, or antibiotics anymore.

    best wishes
