What is good for a sinus infection?

A humidifier would easily clear up the sinus infection. I also recommend Vicks Vapo Rub (which i own no copyright to). I use that whenever i have a sinus infection. It clears me up very quickly. Drink lots of fluids, and a little unorthodox, but putting icy-hot under your nose and on your chest will also help.

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. It is this congestion that allows an infection to develop as trapped mucus provides the perfect environment for bacteria to develop. You can try using a saline (salt water) solution to clean out your sinuses. A fungal sinus infection would require that you receive treatments from a doctor or over the counter medication that can help deal with this symptom. There are also various alternative treatments that can help treat this condition. could also be dental problems

No, penicillin is an 'antibiotic', i.e. active against bacterial caused infections. Herpes is a viralinfection and thus penicillin does not touch it.

Will the use of gelfoam following a tooth extraction where there is infection indicated?

Gelfoam is indicated after a dental extraction if the root was touching the sinus, and the extraction made an opening in the sinus floor. The gelfoam would help in a quicker and more efficient healing of the sinus floor. Some dentists also use an antibiotic coated gelfoam to put in the extraction site even if there is no opening with the sinus.
