Hello, Jawbone! How are you?

Nitrofurantoin is an antibiotic that's used to treat various types of bacterial infections, but it is not usually the first choice for a sinus infection.

Learn more Nitrofurantoin details here.

It may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea.

Has your doctor prescribed it?

My doctor prescribed it for a urinary tract infection and got me more just in case it returns. (I'm working in England until year's end, but live in Illinois.) I have a sinus infection and so am trying the anti on that, since they're hard to come by in London.

Sadly and embarrassing I struggle with that big time and the face pain that sends u to your knees praying quick amen n omg all they say is allergies n fibromylagia. I cant pronounce it but had it for 8yrs now, but never had sinus problems n allergies in my life. I moved here from florida after traveling back n forth 6 and a half for yrs. They've never done proper testing, just guessing... N I mite go a year with no face pain or it creeps up out of no where n have 6 episodes a day mostly at night, throwing ya out of bed like u was tossed from an airplane. I mean that pain is so intense I vomit. Excuse my phrase n never had so much junk come from my nose, lord have mercy. Well let me give u some good advice, u dont never ever want to try the sinus rinse. I swear that about made me feel like I had pneumonia. Even the whole concept of that gave me a gut feeling that something probably the holly spirit said that was like drowning yourself, but did I listen to my instincts.

So please do yourself a favor n leave that stuff alone fa real. Well it was lovely chatting to someone. I dont go on facebook or any other sites so this is my first. I suppose loneliness does that to a person. I pray u all feel better n get some solutions n cures out there. I think my best bet is a neurologist n o yea fa real lol not funny when I first started getting all this face n sinus pain I did go to a ear an throat dr. Another joke, they stick this hose thing through your nose almost to your brain; big ouch n say its not cancer thank god, but no answer, then they say o its your wisdom teeth. Big joke again. I had them pulled. Then the ***** says I need a tooth filled, n I'm scared of dentist. Yea im a big baby. So he fills a tooth that wasnt strong enuff to be filled n my whole tooth cracked 2 times. I still have part of the tooth, wats left of it n it didn't need touched. Whewww what these drs wont do for a buck or to rip off the system... Ritecoz thats what it appears to boil down to.

I'm a widow n was on ssi disability n once I became a widowed spouse which I had thought he divorced me century ago cause he claimed he was married so I assumed anyway they put me on that widow spouse list. I gained a meezly 200 dol coz he was never sober enuf to keep a job. God rest his soul. Then I lost all my vision n dental, how nice. Ok live n learn but always be wise n thankful. It could b worse I guess but I know in my heart god has something awesome in my future n I hang onto that so ill go through all these trials n tribulations with the faith he has something wonderful awaiting for me. So god bless u all n have a very blessed life n remember god loves ya n he promised to never leave or forsake us as long as we believe. He is the master of creation. Amen. And im not a real religious person but I do have faith n believe. Amen n take care n all that good stuff.
