Intranasal antibiotics as an adjunct to corticosteroids usually demonstrate the greatest symptom relief.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0022215115000456_sec2\"><jats:title>Aim:<\/jats:title><jats:p>We wanted to clinically evaluate the effects of a topical antibiotic and steroid combination administered intranasally, versus an oral antibiotic alone when treating acute rhinosinusitis.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0022215115000456_sec3\"><jats:title>Method:<\/jats:title><jats:p>Forty patients with acute bacterial rhinosinusitis were divided into two groups. Group A received an antibiotic and steroid combination (ofloxacin 0.26 per cent and dexamethasone 0.053 per cent nasal drops) for 10 days, administered intranasally (5 drops in each nostril\/8 hours). Group B, the control group, received an oral antibiotic alone (amoxicillin 90 mg\/kg).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0022215115000456_sec4\"><jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title><jats:p>Eight hours after commencing treatment, facial pain was more severe in group B and nasal obstruction was reduced in both groups.
