Brief Answer:
Sinusitis

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to HealthcareMagic and thanks for putting up the query
Azelastine is an antihistaminic drug and very effective for nasal allergy. It will decongest nasal mucosa and will aid sinus drainage but it would be better to take a combination of azelastine and topical steroid that has anti inflammatory action too.
Any further questions are always welcome.
Thanks and regards
