There is no quick fix for acute sinusitis and the main thing you should do is figure out the triggers for it. Is it allergies or a virus. From there you can figure out the route to go.

Here are some natural sinus treatments you can try:

These natural treatments will help keep the cilia healthy and functioning properly to prevent excess mucus from forming in your sinuses. If a sinus infection should occur, these treatments will help increase the effectiveness of your medications and antibiotics.

1. Apply a warm compress to your face. You should do this for a period of five minutes, 3-4 times a day. Just place a small towel soaked in warm water over your face, below the eyebrows. This will help increase the circulation anddrainage in your sinuses.

2. Drink plenty of hot liquids. Hot drinks are one the best ways to unplug your sinuses, drink hot tea – black, green, herbal or decaffeinated, it doesn’t make any difference. Do you remember what your mother used to say? Eat chickensoup, this also helps. You need to consume enough liquids so that when you urinate, it is light in color.

3. Hot liquids will help keep your mucous membranes moist. This will speed the movement of your cilia and help wash the mucus out of your sinuses faster. Sorry, coffee lovers, but coffee isn’t nearly as effective as hot tea.

4. Eat raw radishes Smiling Face with Open Mouth and Tightly-closed Eyes

5. You need to irrigate your sinuses. For more than 3,000 years, practitioners of yoga have kept their sinuses healthy by sniffing a solution of saltwater rapidly in and out of their nose. A word of caution, do not try this unless you have been taught the proper way to do it.

Treatments to relieve symptoms

Your doctor may recommend treatments to help relieve sinusitis symptoms, including:

Saline nasal spray, which you spray into your nose several times a day to rinse your nasal passages.
Nasal corticosteroids. These nasal sprays help prevent and treat inflammation. Examples include fluticasone (Flonase), mometasone (Nasonex), budesonide (Rhinocort Aqua), triamcinolone (Nasacort AQ) and beclomethasone (Beconase AQ).
Decongestants. These medications are available in over-the-counter (OTC) and prescription liquids, tablets and nasal sprays. OTC oral decongestants include Sudafed, Actifed and Drixoral. Nasal sprays include oxymetazoline (Afrin, others). These medications are generally taken for only a few days at most. Otherwise they can cause the return of more severe congestion (rebound congestion).
Over-the-counter pain relievers, such as aspirin, acetaminophen (Tylenol, others) or ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB, others). Aspirin has been linked with Reye's syndrome, so use caution when giving aspirin to children or teenagers. Though aspirin is approved for use in children older than age 2, children and teenagers recovering from chickenpox or flu-like symptoms should never take aspirin. Talk to your doctor if you have concerns.
