DGPeddler,
I strongly suggest you study up on how bacteria develop 'immunity'
to various antibiotics.

(Because it sounds to me like the way you self medicated for
colds developed the sinus infection you are now suffering from.

http://science.howstuffworks.com/environmental/life/cellular-microscopic/question561.htm

Here's how we contribute to the problem:

Ignoring the brightly colored labels on the pill bottle and the doctor's admonitions to take all of the medicine that you get, even if you start to feel better. If you stop taking your medicine too early, your immune system may not be capable of killing off the stragglers, and any resistant bacteria left unscathed will be able to proliferate and spread to other people.

Insisting on getting antibiotics from the doctor to treat a cold or the flu. Antibiotics are completely ineffective against viruses, so you actually accomplish nothing by popping a pill.

De, in the past when I had dental
work done, I was usually given an
antibiotic. I would take it for a
day or two and then put the rest
in the medicine cabinet. I kept
some for several years. If I got
a bad cold, I would take one a day
for a day or two. They always seemed
to do the job. I now have an infection
that has been on going for three
years. The dentist does not want to
give me an antibiotic. The root canal
problems all seen to be fixed but the
infection is not.
