    Probably until my first paper cut and infection after all the antibiotic starts to expire, it’s likely game over some time soon after.

        As infrequently as possible. Maybe a year ago last time for a sinus infection I couldn’t clear on my own.

      You are way overestimating how often antibiotics are needed. I’ve used them once in my life and it was only a precaution, probably not needed. People who get antibiotics for every little thing are largely responsible for their loss in effectiveness.

        I don’t disagree with you. Antibiotic overuse is a real problem. I’ve had surgeries without needing antibiotics afterwards. I try very hard not to rely on antibiotics but have allergies and shitty sinuses. I had an on and off sinus infection I couldn’t clear for something like 9 months. Used every trick in the book and I’d think I’d finally cleared it all, but no.

        Happy that you seem more healthy overall than me. Good fortune for you.
