Hello
You are suffering from acute sinusitis due to the effect of cold virus.
Steam inhalation and pain killers are the mainstay of treatment.
Take steam inhalation three times a day.
Avoid cold drinks and take more hot liquids.
You may use nasal decongestant drops for few days to relieve of any nasal block.
Antibiotics are required if the symptoms of bacterial infection are found,otherwise no need of antibiotics.
You shall b alright in next 5 to 7 days.
Thanks
