You will require antibiotics, antacids and antihistamines. It is likely to develop sleep apnea(breathless spells while sleeping). The following steps may help:
- Do steam inhalation(plain steam) regularly
- Drink water at an average of 3 liters per day
- Avoid caffeinated and alcoholic beverages as they cause dehydration and will worsen your condition.
- Have spicy food once in a while which will help clear your sinuses
- Use a humidifier in your room which is seen to be beneficial in sinusitis
- Wiping the face regularly with a towel moist with hot water has also shown to help.
If the condition persists or worsens visit an ENT at the earliest.
