Amongst all health disorders, diseases and infections, the most miserable one is considered to be sinus or sinus infection. It is a condition when there is an infection or inflammation in the Paranasal sinuses.

1
Moisture and Humidification.
Considering that sinuses cannot occur without some inflammation of the nose, so one good way to soften the dried mucus associated with a sinus infection is by means of moisture or humidification. Usually a doctor or medical specialist will not ask you to do this but it is advised that you should buy a humidifier for use at home.

2
More fluid intake.
Fluids can help you soften the blocked mucus inside sinuses. Hence it is advised to drink fluids in excess such as warm water and orange juice.

Soups and Herbal teas.
If you do not want to have juices, then you can have chicken soup and herbal teas like ginger, lemon balm, licorice, Echinacea and eucalyptus. Be informed that these things work well if you are taking a good rest.

Warm Moist Washcloth or Towel.
