Drink more fluids. Water helps loosen mucus and soothe an irritated throat. Dry, hacking coughs respond to honey in hot water, tea, or lemon juice.

That is actually true to a certain extent. Most of the time you need to have some sort of sensitivity/allergy to dairy. But dairy products can increase the thickness of your phlegm, therefore can clog up your sinuses, and eventually cause the sinus pressure.
Foods To Avoid. The worst food in the world for sinusitis sufferers is chocolate ice cream. In fact, any food with milk in it is going to cause the sinus infection to get worse and could cause a flare-up. Only people with Type A blood can digest dairy products. So the first rule in controlling sinusitis is to avoid dairy products like the plague. Second, avoid sugar (i.e. refined sugar). In short, the ideal diet for a sinusitis sufferer is a âwhole foodâ diet where you do not eat any processed foods.
