Suggest Remedy For Sinus Infections

I have an issue that I ve encountered over the past year. I keep smelling gasoline and its making me very nauseated. Just went to the dr and have a sinus infection and bronchitis. This past year my husband passed away (very stressfull) but was not sick at the time, smelled it real bad then. On another occassion it lasted about 3 weeks then goes away as fast as it comes in. Getting real tired and frustrated with this issue. Should I seek an ear, nose and throat specialist? What do you suggest? Thank you for any help you can give me.
