Sinus rinse works well for minor congestion, but if infected don't use it, might move it to your ears. Get that stuff bad once or twice a year. Shot of decadedron course of prednisone, Flonase, and a z-pack will have you up and running in a couple hours. Don't let them give you amoxicillin. It does not work for sinus infections, and little else these days. There is an antibiotic that kicks it if a Z-pack won't. Starts with an A but not amoxicillin. Could find it on Web MD if you need a script from you legal pill pusher.
