Suggest Medication For Sinus Problem While Being On Medication For High BP

I have high blood pressure that I take daily meds for. I am currently having some sinus issues. I am already taking flonase spray. I looked at the coricidin hbp meds but none of those seemed like an option. They have cough (which I don't need) and cold/flu. The problem with cold flu formula is it contains acetaminophen and I am already taking a high dose diclofenac twice daily for costrochondritis. I cannot take another nsaid on top of that. Any suggestions for easing the sinus issues? Vicks on the forehead and under nose works for a few.minutes but I can't use it continuously because of the smell to those around me and it waters my eyes.

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,
The best treatment for sinus infection is ...
Steam nhalation 3-4 times a day
Avoiding cold drinks
Since in general sinus infection is viral in nature,there is no need to take any antibiotic.
Keep taking your other medications
Put saline nasal drops like NASOCLEAR nasal drops three times a day.
Thanks
