Hi Dear,
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of fever, sinus problems and cold which is mainly due to upper respiratory tract infection due to viral causes. Well virus infection usually go away in few days by its own, but sometimes when infection become severe as in your case , it needs medical attention. I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist without any delay. Doctor may order throat swab test and blood test to confirm the diagnosis. Doctor may prescribe antiviral ( acyclovir ) along with decongestant and anti inflammatory medication. For now take steam twice a day to relieve the congestion and drink warm water with one spoon honey in it .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
