Hello,

I think he may need to visit an ENT doctor to check his nose with an endoscope.

Treatment with antibiotics is needed for the sinus infection to go away it may last for two weeks.

Also, he can take antihistamines such Benadryl or cetirizine and anti-inflammatory drugs such as Advil or acetaminophen.

The ENT doctor can spot any mechanical issues such as polyps in the nose which may cause these frequent infections.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
