no there are no supplements

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Please dont worry , i dont think you need supplements for a sinus infection rather you can try the following

Take steam inhalation 2-3 times a day for five minutes atleast.

You can try a technique called "jal nethi" , that is , saline nasal irrigation's , this is a technique in yoga, which will help clear up your sinuses.

You can also try food rich in vitamin c like oranges , guava, goose berry etc , which will improve your immunity in general and help fight infections.

Please try these , i am sure they will help you.

Thanks
