HOME REMEDIES FOR SINUS INFECTION
* Inhale steam 2-4 times per day by leaning over a bowl of boiling hot water or using a steam vaporizer with a towel over the head and bowl to prevent the escape of the steam.
* Get plenty of rest. Do not lie down it will make your sinuses feel more stopped-up, so try lying on the side that lets you breathe the best.
* Sleeping with your head elevated will encourage drainage during the night.
