Is Prednisone used for sinus infection?

Oftentimes sinus infections linger because the sinus cavities are inflamed and mucus cannot drain properly. (The excess of mucus could be caused by an infection, like a virus, bacteria or mold -OR- by the body's belief there is an infection, an allergic reaction.)The mucus is trapped in one or more of the sinus pockets which in turn causes pain and pressure. Prednisone is an immunosuppressant and acts as an anti-inflamitory. It allows the inflamed tissues to shrink thereby allowing mucus to drain. Where appropriate, Prednisone may be combined with antibiotics or anti-allergen medication.
