Brief Answer:
Nose spray, nasal douche, inhalation anti inflammatory medication

Detailed Answer:
Dear patient,

the sinusitis can be treated with cold nose spray like xylometazoline, inhalation with hot steam, and anti inflammatory medication such as ibuprofen. If this does not get better please see an ent doctor or gp who may prescribe an antibiotic. Also dentist evaluation to rule out tooth infection is advisable if problem persists.
