Dear Sonali, Thank you for the Question.

Rhinosinusitis (RS) is characterized by inflammation of the mucosa involving the paranasal sinuses and the nasal cavity.

Here are few tips to manage sinusitis

Keep yourself hydrated as fluids can help dilute secretions and promote drainage in the nasal cavity.
Vitamin C and E have anti-inflammatory properties. Try to consume Citrus fruits such as grapes, oranges, kiwi etc and include whole grains, nuts & seeds in your daily diet.
Try to include zinc rich foods in the diet as zinc helps support Immunity. Some of the zinc rich foods are meat, nuts and seeds, whole grains seafood etc.
Incorporate foods such as ginger, spices, cinnamon, onion, garlic, clove thyme, cumin.
Consume hot beverages such as hot tea, Green tea, ginger tea etc., as they contain certain beneficial compounds which may help relax the smooth muscle in the airway.
Steam inhalation also promotes drainage of the blocked nasal cavity.
