How To Treat Bacterial Infection In Nose Leading To Pain?

Hi, I got some bacterial infection in my nose, it is very painful. Does this infection normally disappear with antibiotics? From what I read it says that some nose infections can be very dangerous and the infection can spread to the brain through the veins.. I started using antibiotics, topical and oral.
