Sinus Infection or Just a Cold? How to tell the difference

Sinus pressure, congestion, and facial pain dont always mean a sinus infection. In this episode of Housecalls and Health, we break down the difference between a viral upper respiratory infection and true bacterial sinus infection. We talk about why most sinus symptoms in the first week are viral, when antibiotics are and are not helpful, and what actually works for symptom relief. We also discuss why antibiotics dont prevent sinus infections and how often viral illness actually turns into bacterial sinus infections. If you ever wondered whether you need antibiotics or just more time and supportive care, this episode will help you understand when to wait, and when to treat.
