There is no specific dietary recommendation used in the management of chronic sinusitis. Basic dietary recommendations useful for any illness involves adhering to a healthy diet with appropriate vitamin supplementation. I strongly recommend supplemental vitamin C since there is little risk associated with it and since there is some evidence that it can be helpful. Dairy products in general may tend to thicken secretions and therefore may interfere with sinus drainage. Increased water intake is advisable.
