Sinusitis: You can irrigate the sinuses with a rinse via a netti-pot, you can use a decongestant like pseudoephedrine, there may be nasal steroid sprays, and antiinflammatories. If, however, you develop facial pain and swelling, fever, headache, persistence of other symptoms please go see a doctor asap. Sinus infections can have major complications.

Remedy: Hello. I wish your question was easy to answer. Unfortunately each patient is different and needs a expert to guide therapy. It may be specific antibiotics, allergy treatment, steroids, or even surgery. See your ENT doctor for an evaluation.
