Unfortunately, without an exam or testing it would be hard to say what can be done to help. A good first step is to try and find the cause of the sinus and throat swelling through bloodwork, X-rays, exam, etc. Possible causes may include an allergy to something in the environment, an allergic reaction to a bite or sting, food allergies, illness, infections, growths, etc. As the treatment varies depending on the cause, finding the underlying cause is best. Treatment may include medications such as allergy meds or antibiotics, or additional tests or procedures to help reduce symptoms.
