Sinus rinses with saline are often adequate to clear sinus infections. The water should be sterile
Except for infants, patients are strongly encouraged to treat nasal congestion symptoms with saline for at least 2 weeks prior to seeking medical attention, unless the child has fever, headache, ear pain, severe sore throat or chesty cough
