I've dealt with sinus infections for years. I had them repeatedly for 5 months before starting allergy shots. Since the shots started (5 years ago :-() I only get sinus issues about once a year. And the only reason I'm going to the doctor this time is so I can avoid it turning into something worse while at camp ... otherwise I would stick with the steam, warm cloths, nettipot, and extra fluids that I normally do. But thanks for the recommendation.
