Actions:  Putting warm compresses over the sinuses/where the infection is can help.  Make sure to stay hydrated.  You use even more water than usual when your body is attempting to flush an infection.  Drink chamomile tea, especially blends involving cinnamon, and sweeten with honey.  This gives a triple punch to whatever is causing the infection.  Both cinnamon and honey have effects on fungi, viruses, and bacteria.  Eat cinnamon candies, or chew cinnamon gum.  Make sure that it is actual cinnamon used, not “cinnamon flavour,” which is a chemical substitute that does not have the effects of cinnamon.  If you can tolerate drinking cinnamon tea or chewing on a cinnamon stick, that has an even greater effect.  My partner, who had chronic and persistent sinus infections, swears by this tea.
