Brief Answer:
Considerations

Detailed Answer:
hello and thank you for sending the question.

From the collection of symptoms you have described it sounds like you may be dealing with a sinus infection. This can sometimes lead to significant gesture, fatigue and sometimes dizziness.

I think if your symptoms continue or get any worse that you might benefit from treatment with an antibiotic. This is something you would probably need to get from your primary care doctor or a local clinic.

Try to make sure that you are drinking plenty of fluids and use some over-the-counter decongestant for now.

if your symptoms do not get any better within a day or so I would suggest that you seek medical treatment.

Sincerely,

Dr. Galamaga
