I know this antibiotic is prescribed mainly for UTI’s, but is it effective in treating a sinus infection?

Macrobid is prescribed mainly for UTIs. I suffer from chronic sinus infections and am prescribed, Augmentin, Bactrim or Levaquin for a course of 2-6 weeks depending upon the severity of the infection.
My school nurse said Macrobid will not clear a sinus infection.
The ony things that really helped me was when my Dr. told me about a sinus wash that will kill bacteria.
you need
distilled water
sea salt
liquid chlorophyll and colloidal silver from the health food store.
in a glass mix 1/4 cup water with a pinch of salt and heat to body temperature.
add 5 drops each silver and chlorophyll and mix.
using a large dropper (like one used for infant medication) drop 2 full droppersfull into one side of the nose while laying down.
Turn the head and let it drain out the other nostril. Be sure to have paper towels handy.
The silver kills the bacteria and there are several hundred kind that can live in the sinus cavities and anti biotics don’t get rid of them all.
Do this twice a day for a week, mixing up the mixture fresh each time.
Then do it once a week for maintenance.
There is nothing in this that will hurt you, and it cured me.
I do not have to take claritin, or antibiotics anymore.
best wishes
