Hello! Thank you for your question Sinusitis is a condition that usually resolves itself over about 2 weeks depending on the severity It is highly recommended to do a nasal hygiene two to three times a day with products like Sinus Rinse or Hydrasense. This will help reduce congestion and improve healing If your symptoms persist for nearly a month, and prevent you from functioning it may be wise to consult a physician for evaluation and determine if antibiotics are necessary I understand. In this case, it is still recommended to do a nasal hygiene because the sinus congestion can affect the ears. Otherwise, decongestant tablets, such as pseudoephedrine, are sold behind pharmacy counters. Your pharmacist will evaluate your file, if you are taking medication and determine if the product is safe for you. It may be helpful for a few days to see if it is effective in combination with nasal hygiene. Some side effects include restlessness, palpitations and insomnia, but these may be transient
