Brief Answer:
May need antibiotics
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for using HCM to post your question.
I read carefully your question and I understand your concern.
As I understand it, you don't have red eye, or discharge from eye but puffiness under the eyes.
Also I see you are taking a painkiller, an antihistamine, using steroid nose spry, and doing steam therapy....so far, all seems perfect what you are doing.
What else it is left to do? These are my suggestions:
-- Do nose lavages with saline water, at least 2 times/day. Has been proven to help.
-- If you have had this situation for more then 10 days, if you have fever or yellow thick secretions from the nose, then you may have a bacterial sinusitis and may need antibiotics. Take Almoxiclav 1000mg, 2 times/day for 7 days.
-- Drinking plenty of fluids may help too.
-- Ear pain and the swelling below the eyes it is because of the general congestion. Antibiotics will help relieve them too.
Hope this is helpful. Let me know if you need more clarifications. Otherwise please kindly close and rate the answer.
Regards,
Dr.Papaqako

The antibiotics you need to take I have suggested in the previous answer: Amoxiclav (Amoxicilline-clavulonate) 1000mg, 1 tablet twice/day, for 7 days, if you are not allergic from Penicillin.
