Dust Mites and Sinusitis
Dust mites cause chronic and acute sinusitis due to their effect on the mucus membranes in the nasal and sinus cavities. Dust mites cause the most damage when you are asleep, when your cilia are at rest.
Your doctor can prescribe such treatments as steroid nasal sprays, antibiotics and corticosteroid nasal spray to reduce the inflammation and facilitate drainage.

Sorry homie ..... NOT always the case
there can be some very serious bacterial and fungal causes of sinusitis
which require proper diagnosis and treatment with antibiotics and/or antifungals

We buy the vitamins as well as using emergen-c. Always look up max dosages if you are going to kick it out with vitamin c. Can't remember off the top of my head but I do remember I found it through Google.
Also have you tried taking something like airborne as a preventative?

My Mom swears by C also, and I've tried it but never had the same results she has... ? Maybe it's just me.
No, I haven't tried the airborne yet, although I've heard some people talk about it. Have you found it works well?
