Eat 30 to 40 raisins daily. Honey is most beneficial in sinusitis. take one table-spoon honey twice a day. Inhale honey thrice a day. Cut down on your sugar intake and start jaggery. Inhale steam twice a day. Avoid cold climates and air conditioners. Wear warm cloths to protect from cold. Drink hot soup. Avoid ice cream, cold drinks and cold water. Insert tooth pick into your nostrils to sneeze. After the mucus is released from the head, you will feel better. Correct constipation. Now, press the finger tip and thumb of both the hands for 10 minutes twice a day on empty stomach to fight the ailment. Pressing finger point will certainly help. Please let me know the progress.

Therapeutic measures include simple painkillers (aspirin, paracetamol (acetaminophen) or similar), inhaling steam, nasal irrigation or jala neti using a warm saline solution, hot drinks including tea and chicken soup, over-the-counter decongestants, and getting plenty of rest. If sinusitis doesn't improve within 48 hours, or is causing significant pain, one should see a doctor, who may prescribe antibiotics or nasal steroids. If the recommended doses and duration of antibiotic treatment(s) are ineffective, one should consult a doctor; who may suggest further treatment by a qualified specialist.
If left untreated, sinusitis can lead to bronchitis and pneumonia.
For chronic or recurring sinusitis, referral to an otolaryngologist is indicated for more specialist assessment and treatment, which may include nasal surgery.
A recent advance in the treatment of sinusitis is a type of surgery called FESS - functional endoscopic sinus surgery, whereby normal clearance from the sinuses is restored by removing the anatomical and pathological obstructive variations that predispose to sinusitis. This replaces the less effective Caldwell-Luc surgery.
Another recently developed treatment is balloon sinuplasty.
Recently, FDA Fast-Tracked a drug in Phase 3 clinical study for the treatment of Chronic Rhinosinusitis. Early tests at the Mayo Clinic showed substancial benifit to those treated in the study. Accentia Biopharmaceuticals is the company with the rights to the drug.[citation needed]

First I would see your physician to try to determine the underlying cause of the sinusitis, whether it is related to allergies, a bacterial or viral infection. Because in addition to a decongestant (which helps dry up secretions) you will need something to counter act the "real" problem. This time a year, a large number of those with sinus problems are related to seasonal allergies. If left uncheck this can progress to upper respiratory infections. Sinus drainage is a wonderful medium for bacteria and viruses to grow. Antibiotics should only be used in cases where there is an indication of a bacterial infection, the best test being a culture of your sinus drainage which can identify if and what bacteria are present which will indicate which antibiotic to use if necessary.
Until you see your healthcare provider, you may want to try something over the counter and you could talk with your local pharmacist to determine what type of medication is best suited for your needs.

After clearing up the current infection with a regiment of antibiotics your doctor may prescribe allergy meds. If not and these infections are chronic like I have had you can try homeopathic treatments, saline solutions to keep your allergies at bay.

Off the subject a little, but did you know that I missed the word 'sinusitis' in my 7th grade regional spelling bee?
That word will haunt me forever.

If you have a serious infection, taking antibiotics is manditory, do as your doctor tells you and if he prescribes antibiotics, take them and take all of them and you should get better, if you dont it will just get worse and never go away and you could cause long term damage. If it isnt infection then antihistamines should take care of your symptoms.
