I have a sinus cold. What treatment should I follow?
Asked by Female, 24 · 3 months ago
For a sinus cold, take steam inhalation once or twice daily, use saline nasal drops to clear mucus, drink warm fluids, and rest well. You can take an antihistamine for a cold. Avoid cold air, dust, and strong smells. If symptoms last more than a week or get worse, see a doctor for further treatment.
