No water upstairs bathroom sink

I had to turn the water off to my house to fix a sprinkler valve. Now everything has water but the upstairs bathroom sink. I guess there is air in the line, but I don't know how to fix it.

remove the aerator and check for crap clogging the small openngs in it.

I already tried that. There's very little volume without the aerator on the faucet. Thanks for your help.

If you have BrassCraft valves under the sink, your problem may be here as the actual hole through these vales is about 1/8 inch when fully open.
Before you replace them try shutting off water again and draining the upstairs thourgh a downstairs faucet (taking off the airator so you sully this one) after it starts draining open up your upstairs faucets to let the crap move down to sink...it may work...but you may have to replace the BrassCraft Valves.

Thank you, Gerry!
