Hello,
Welcome to HCM,

As you are having symptoms of sinus infection which is creating a big havoc in you , it should be treated properly. Sinus are air filled spaces in the skull bone when these air spaces are replaced by the fluid because of infection or the injury it will produce the symptoms of sinusitis.

You require physical examination to find out the sinus which is giving all these problems. I would suggest you to follow
1.Steam Inhalation with Vapocaps
2.Oral Antibiotics like Bactoclav 625 mg for 5 days.
3.Oral Antihistamines for 5 days.

The aforementioned medicines will help you to control the infection and make you comfortable.
Thank you.
