One way to treat sinus drainage is to keep mucus thin rather than thick. Another way is to clean the nasal by flooding with fluid and this is a quick method to unclog the nose.

Can you take a decongestant while on Bactrim for a sinus infection?

A doctor might prescribe Bactrim DS to treat a sinus infection. There are many different antibiotics which treat sinus infections. It is important, however, to know that you actually have a sinus infection. Taking antibiotics when you do not have an actual bacterial infection can cause bacterial resistance. If a bacteria in your body, lets say one which resides in your gut normally, becomes resistant to an antibiotic because you weren't actually infected, and then the bacteria flares up and causes an infection, the same antibiotic cannot be used. This happens more frequently than you may think. We all have bacteria living in our bodies which are kept at bay by our immune systems. For example, the bacteria which causes the dreaded "strep throat" probably exists, already, in your body. If you become stressed, and your immune system suffers as a result, that bacteria may flare up and cause "strep throat". If you take an antibiotic for a sinus infection and that bacteria becomes resistant to it, then you will have a problem later when a doctor tries to treat it. Long story short: Go to the doctor first before taking any antibiotics. They'll know better than you or myself whether or not Bactrim will treat the problem you are having.
