Hello,
Thanks for your follow up query.
It is possible to have a sinus infection without nasal symptoms, as the symptoms depend on the severity of the condition.
Your treating doctor had advised you Amoxicillin 500 suspecting the same.
Since, you are not getting relief, it will be better to take an X XXXXXXX of para-nasal sinus & a CT scan of brain to detect the pathological cause for your symptoms.
The symptoms of nausea & dizziness needs to be evaluated by an ENT specialist to rule out any disturbance in Vestibular function.
Symptomatic relief can be obtained by intake of anti histamine preparation like cinnarizine.
There is no need to worry, you will be fine.
