Hello
For sinus infections, antibiotics will help drain the fluid. You can take him to your pediatrician.

You can’t really drain the sinuses, but irrigating them might help. Get a sinus irrigation kit at the drugstore and follow the directions. It may be difficult for him to cooperate, but if he can, it helps a lot.

Sinus pain in a 10-year-old is very rare and unexpected. I would be concerned about another source of pain such as a toothache or eye disease. Please contact your physician as soon as you can. Drainage of sinus is done in children only in the most extreme of cases by an ENT physician. For routine stuffy nose and congestion, however, nasal steroids (Flonase and others) are effective. Please consult your physician
