It must be addressed to strengthen the immune system. Food should be easily digestible, rich in vitamins, be sure to include in the diet of vegetables, fruits, fish, lean meat, dairy products.
Take twice a year multivitamin preparations course of at least a month. Now a fairly large selection of multivitamin complexes, so look for those that contain mineral compounds besides vitamins.
It is useful to take ginseng and echinacea.

This is exactly what can be done in the periods when the disease is retreating.
In the acute stage of the disease it is necessary to use antibacterial agents - depending on the sensitivity of microorganisms pathogenic to them.
A good effect is given broad-spectrum antibiotics - azithromycin, cefazolin. Used vasoconstrictor nose drops - Farmazolin, Rinazolin, Otrivin. Assign also antihistamines - Laurent, Aleron, L-CET.
In more severe cases, magnesium sulfate added to 25% by intramuscular injection - is, as a rule, in Where it required a very quick result, but always apply such treatment is not can.
Very good Sinupret - 1 tablet 3 times a day, it has a local decongestant and vasoconstrictor effects and a complex action.
Antihistamine drugs are taken at a standard dose of 5 mg 1 time per day. Nose drops - 3-4 times a day. Antibiotics - according to the instructions, usually 250-500 mg one to three times a day - the exact dose will choose the doctor.
So be sure to consult an otolaryngologist because inflammation of the sinuses - a serious problem and can not self-medicate.
