How do you know if a sinus infection?

**OldieHawn** · 02-06-2009, 10:41 PM

is bacterial? I have had sinus pain (so bad my teeth hurt for awhile) and soupy green snot coming out of my right side for 15 days. I am loathe to take antibiotics, but I fear it will never get better on it's own. How can you tell if it is viral or bacterial? How long should I wait?

If it's green you got it, and 15 days...definitely. You need antibiotics, sorry.

you go to a doctor

You should've gone to the dr. when you first started noticing the green discharge. Green means that you have an infection that your body is not fighting off. If it's yellow, usually that means your body is trying to fight it off, but you've passed that point. I have horrible sinus problems and fresh pineapple is great for the pressure. Go to the dr. now and get some antibiotics.
