Apply warm compresses over painful areas. See your healthcare provider if the pain lasts for several days or there are any signs of bacterial infection, such as fever or foul smelling nasal discharge. You may be prescribed antibiotics or other medicines. Sinus problems can last a few days, a few weeks, or months. If one does not treat a short term problem, it can become a long term problem.
Surgery is a last resort in cases of recurrent sinus infections.
