Allergic sinusitis is an inflammation of the sinuses caused by an allergy to some external agent, such as mites or some type of food.
Individuals who have allergic sinusitis when they come in contact with the allergy-causing agent produce secretions that accumulate in the sinuses, causing headaches, bad breath and nasal congestion.
Allergic sinusitis crises can occur frequently, causing great discomfort to the individual.
The main cause of the disease is inflammation of the mucous lining of the entire nasal cavity due to an external agent that causes allergies, which may be related to dust mites, food intolerance.

Treatment of Allergic Sinusitis
Allergic sinusitis is treated with the use of antiallergics, but allergies should also be controlled by removing the agents that cause it.
Nasal decongestants are used to facilitate respiration, and saline to perform a nasal lavage and to drain accumulated secretions.
Natural Treatment
A great natural treatment for allergic sinusitis is to drink plenty of fluids, so the secretions become more fluid and are eliminated more easily, preventing the proliferation of viruses, fungi or bacteria.
Taking orange or acerola juice is a good option, as it contains a lot of water and good sources of vitamin C that help strengthen the body's natural defenses. But to take full advantage of its medicinal properties drink the juice soon after its preparation.
In addition, you can also use essential oil of eucalyptus to help unclog the nose, I see as watching the video:
