I'm NOT a doctor - if its really bothering you, see a doctor first - however... Some friends have used what's known as a Netti /Neti/Nettie Pot - sells at most drug stores. Its a little pitcher thing that you pour liquid up inside one nostril and it flushes through the sinuses and out the other nostril. One friend said that the first few times "felt wierd" but that it was easy to do and it has really helped with his Allergies.
Read the directions and check out some web sites - seems like I saw a few of them back when I recommended a Netti Pot to that allergy-problem friend. There may be different "mixes" for the liquids for different treatments. Be careful and use good judgment - do not use a HOT liquid or get crazy and try straight alcohol or peroxide or something like that.
Again - best bet is a real doctor - your head is basically the "command module" and you need to take extra care when something is wrong.

What if you get a sinus infection every other week?
If you suffer from a sinus infection every other week, you have a recurrent sinus infection. This can happen for a variety of reasons but the two most likely causes of this is untreated allergies or a fungal sinus infection. It is important that you treat any allergies that you may have, as they can cause your sinuses/nose to become congested.
