Nitrofurantoin Mono Mac Sinus Infection (Top voted first)

Is this drug effective in treating a sinus infection?

REPLY

REPORT

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.

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.

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

Has your doctor prescribed it?
