What supplements have been studied for sinusitis?

Pelargonium sidoides, bromelain, NAC, and quercetin have been studied for sinusitis symptoms. NAC may help thin mucus secretions, while bromelain has shown potential for reducing sinus inflammation and swelling in some clinical trials.

Can supplements treat sinusitis without antibiotics?

Most cases of acute sinusitis are viral and resolve without antibiotics. Nasal saline irrigation and symptomatic relief are first-line approaches. Supplements like NAC and bromelain may provide additional symptomatic support but are not approved sinusitis treatments.

When should I see a doctor for sinusitis?

See a doctor if sinus symptoms persist beyond 10 days without improvement, if you develop a high fever, severe facial pain, vision changes, or swelling around the eyes. These may indicate bacterial sinusitis or complications requiring antibiotic therapy or further evaluation.
