Maybe give some free advice about: Health?
If you have a true sinus infection they will
prescribe you amoxicillan or other antibiotic.
You cannot take it for everyday sinus problems.
If you do it will become ineffective or you can
build an immunity to it and become allergic to
it. You don't want to become allergic because
the substitutes are much more expensive.
I hate chronic sinus infections for years.
I was given amoxicillan over and over by
my doctor in an attempt to take care of it.
I eventually got hives when I took it. Yikes.
Surgery took care of my problem.
Sorry for the story, just don't take it
if you are just getting a sinus headache
or something. Sinus excedrin will do you
much more good. Save the antibiotics for
real problems. It has been over prescribed
in the past and now people are having real problems. :)

Absolutely not. Extended use of antibiotics is very bad. It will actually strengthen the bacteria that survives it. Sinus problems are rarely caused by bacteria anyway, they are almost always caused by viruses(which antibiotics have no effect on) or by overcompensation of the immune system.
