HIV- infected patients can experience exaggerated allergic conditions in the nasal area due to defects in the proper production of immunoglobulin (proteins in your immune system that work as antibodies). But, sinus problems are in no way an indication that a person is affected with HIV. The only way to know if a person has HIV is through a proper blood test. For sinus with nasal blockage, you can opt for homeopathic remedies like Sticta and Ammonium carb.

You are more likely to be suffering from sinus if the congestion in your nose is lasting for a week or more. Common cold and cough as well as viral infections peak by the second or the third day of your illness. After that, the congestion of your nose will gradually be cured. In case it lasts for a week, there is a possibility that you may be having a sinus infection and must visit a doctor. You may also feel pain over your forehead or cheek bones. Kali Iod, Merc Sol and Pulsatilla are some of the homeopathic medicines for treating a sinus infection.

There are 10 cavities that make up the sinuses. Though a large number of people believe that sinus is located in the nose, it is actually not so. They are located in various air-filled areas throughout your skull, which include the cheeks, forehead and the areas between your eyes. The sphenoid sinuses are the ones that are located in the bones behind your nose. If you ever have a sinus infection, Hydrastis and Kali Bichrome are considered to be highly effective homeopathic medicines to treat your sinus.

Grapefruit seed can be considered as a natural antibiotic. You can grind the pulp and seeds of dried grapefruit into fine powder. It can be then administered in a nasal spray form. Grapefruit seed extract helps in clearing out the mucus in your nasal passage. It also prevents microbial contaminants from growing in your inflamed and weakened sinus tissues. Apart from that, the homeopathic medicine Pulsatilla can help to clear your mucus arising from a sinus infection.
Discoloured mucus is a sign of sinus infection.
5 of 5
It is a common conception that clear nasal discharge can be normal due to a cold or allergy but green or discolored mucus can be a sign of sinus infection. It is not true in all cases. Often, mucus can become discolored if it is contained in your nasal passage for a long time. That does not necessarily mean that you can have a sinus infection. Similarly, if you blow your nose regularly even you are down with sinus, the mucus from your nose will be clear without any discoloration. Merc Sol is a beneficial homeopathic medicine that treats sinus with discolored nasal discharge.
