most studies with good antibiotics that do pre & post-therapy sinus punctures show that an infection can go away in 5 days (if it's staph, H. Flu, or M. Cat) with an antiobitic such as Ketek or 14 days with cipro/levo/avelox.
i could see the infection taking longer if you're not controlling your environment for allergies (infection will just return) or not doing an intranasal steroid.

Google "Neti Pot". It's basically a nasal wash but slightly more involved and is supposed to be better.
