Acute bacterial sinusitis probably from dental infection...

Hello!

I got a dental infection, and from the dental infection i think i got
sinusitis on one side of the face, including the maxillary sinus and
some pain behind the eye. For this I am three days on Zithromax, and
it is helping some, but so far, it is not helping completely. Maybe
the issue is just time.

I am concerned about the possibility of sinusitis complications and
told as much to the ENT doctor who promptly prescribed me 10 days of
clindamycin. Upon looking at the side effects of clindamycin, I became
convinced that it is better to be very quiet about so-called
"concerns" to a doctor and best just to do what they say.

Any thought on this? Should i take clindamycin or stick with
zithromax? I like zithromax a lot, but i never took clindamycin, and
the prospect of high probability of pseudomembranous colitis from
clindamycin (2 to 10%) looks very worrisome.

Thank you for your reply.

Sincerely,

Anton.

Clindamycin is the recommended drug for actinomycetes as well as
bacteria.
Take the clindamycin  AND the Zithromax,  as zithromax has other
immune and inflammation modulatory properties, and be happy that your
ENT actually looked up the proper drugs in his formuarly.
Dannon Immunity or Dan Active will reduce your chances of
psudomembranous cloitis.

If you treat your dental problem (root canal or extraction), the
infections may clear by themselves eventually.

As I've said many times:  The way to fix sinusitis is to identify the
underlying cause, not to throw antibiotics at it.  If you already have a
dental problem you suspect is going to exacerbate sinusitis, then fix
that first and maybe your sinus problems will take care of themselves.

Steven:

The only underlying condition that one needs in order to contract
sinusitis is to contract a cilia-killing respiratory virus.
The pathogens in the normal flora of the nose can then latch on and
establish permanent biofilms which we are still ignoreing.

You have been seduced by the success of the vaccinations that we
recieve as children into an idea that people do NOT get infectious
diseases unless there is some "underlying condition". Diptheria and
pretussus are quite sufficent in and of themselves to cause
strangleing disease, TB, cholera and e c H157, typhoid, only have to
be there they do not require an "underlying condition".
 There are other bacteria which are visably present but resist
growing in a monoculture and so remain to be characterized. The work
has not done. The work is not done until it has been done!  I see a
film of what looks like and reacts like e-coli at the interface in my
samples and in the published micrographs that I have seen of other
sinusitis tissue samples.

My long term hope is for a anti-sinusitis vaccination but that will
not be developed as long as viruses and bacteria are not recognised as
the cause of the disease.
