Patients often worth several days of amoxicillin...

This causes irritation of eyes, face pressure, runny nose and general feeling of pediculosis. Unfortunately, according to a new study published in

Journal of the American Medical Association, antibiotics, you are probably taking the sinuses do not do anything to make you feel better. Sinusitis is one of the most common infections in the United States. Its 24 million annual cases account for almost one fifth of all antibiotics. Since sinusitis can be caused by a virus or bacterium or, by definition, antibiotics will have no effect on viral infection. And, according to the report AMA, it has no effect on bacterial infection or. [Amoxicillin, the most frequently prescribed antibiotics prescribed for the treatment of nasal sinuses, does strattera dosage not work better than placebo, according to Jay Piccirillo Washington University School of Medicine, one of the authors of the study. After three days, patients who were appointed amoxicillin did not feel better than those who received placebo. Because sinusitis is usually passes by itself, it is better not to take any antibiotics at all, Piccirillo said. But try to explain it to people with sinusitis. People say: "See the document, I took off from work, I paid $ 89 copay, and you tell me to take Tylenol," Piccirillo said. It seems cruel, perhaps, but saying "I want antibiotics," You have suggested that they make better faster, but they do not. Piccirillo says more doctors to send patients to more drugs that treat the symptoms and let the body take care of the patient's infection itself. If the patient does not feel better after 10 days, that's another storythe vast majority of acute sinusitis infection, or long, but everything takes longer, you may need additional treatment. [The researchers say that doctors should have patients wait at least well before antibiotics. Although amoxicillin is the most frequently prescribed, Piccirillo says at least 29 different antibiotics, most of whom do not even have FDA indications for sinusitis, which are provided for this infection. Demanding antibiotics when they feel symptoms, patients spend their money, he says, and can help breed antibiotic-resistant bacteria in the body. Patients often worth several days of amoxicillin and then save it to the next [infection], he says. Taking antibiotics, patients do not make yourself at favorsremaining bacteria created the antibiotic resistance. Despite the resistance of streptococcus bacteria, one of the main causes of sinusitis, have not seen many, Piccirillo said that there is no reason to encourage error for its development. Resistance is not an important factor, he says. But that does not mean it can not become one very quickly. 12 infected with swine flu strain WithNew universal flu vaccine could come by 2013 U.S. News Health
