Hello,

It depends upon severity. In case simple congestion with viral bronchitis may take 2 weeks to recover.

In case of chronic sinusitis with bronchitis may need to relieve the symptoms by sinus surgery.

Avoiding cool drinks and freeze water, avoiding allergens may useful. Using water vapour inhalation and salt water gargling thrice a day useful.

If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
