Brief Answer:
Steam inhalation, saline drops,

Detailed Answer:
hello,

thanks for your query,

sinus medications like nasal decongesents and and antihistamines are contraindicated in patients with prostate enlargement as they can increase your urinary symptoms.
If your symptoms are still isolated to the upper airway and sinuses, then you can try simple steam inhalation twice daily, normal saline drops 3 drops/3 times/ 5 days.

in case of persistence of symptoms , you need to visit an ent surgeon for an appropriate antibiotic course.

in case of chronic sinusitis ( more than 6 months) you need to do ct paranasal sinuses to know the anatomical abnormality and pathological extent.

I hope my answers will help you, all the best. take care.

Brief Answer:
It's for productive cough, not for sinus infection

Detailed Answer:
hello,

thanks for your query,

mucinex- dm contains dextromethopram , which is a cough suppresent + guiphensin is a expectorant . both works best with cough.

In my opinion , you can try ambroxyl, which is a mucolytic, thins the secretion of your thick sinus secretions. for that you need to visit an ent surgeon for its strength and dosage.

I hope my answered will help you, all the best, take care.
