Sinusitis Rx: Traditional regimen for treatment of bacterial sinusitis frequently consists of a combination of antibiotics, decongestants (pseudoephedrine, phenylephrine) mucolytics (guaifenesin), antiinflammatories (nasal steroid sprays) and sometimes antihistamines (loratidine, cetirizine).

Neti-pot: Saline irrigation is often a valuable addition to the therapeutic regimen for sinus infection, as can be nasal steroids, along with a decongestant like pseudoephedrine which can be obtained OTC. You are more thoughtful than her therapist. Best wishes.
