Sinus infections can make a person miserable and often do not respond well to antibiotics. Try a simple sinus infection home remedy to ease the discomfort and encourage healing. Make a tea from dried eucalyptus leaves, dried herbal peppermint, dried chamomile, and honey to taste. Drink the tea as hot as is comfortable for you, inhaling the vapors between sips. Too much eucalyptus can cause intestinal upset, so limit this remedy to a maximum of 3-4 cups per day.

It could be that you have an influenza infection that has also infected the sinus cavities. Your doctor is a much better source for health care information than strangers on the internet.
