How is Sinusitis Treated?
Acute sinusitis is generally treated with 10 to 14 days of antibiotics. With treatment, the symptoms disappear and antibiotics are no longer required for that episode. Oral and topical decongestants also may be prescribed to alleviate the symptoms. In some people with recurrent or chronic sinus infections, sinus surgery may have to be done to clean out the accumulated mucus and infection and to enlarge the drain hole to allow better mucus drainage.

Hi. Really glad to see this question addressed. Every case is different, just like every person is different. I typically recommend trying lower impact stuff first, which means the more natural angle.
However if your sinusitis becomes chronic you have to be educated and understand your options. This usually means sinus surgery or balloon sinuplasty.
Talk to your doc, do your homework, and Be Well!
