Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of sinus infection along with this you suffering from headaches which are symptoms of sinusitis. I would suggest you to put nasal decongestant sprays for opening of sinuses. You should take antihistamines Levocetrizine and antibiotic such as Cephalosporin combination as infection is present. Montelukast is also effective for this. You should take steam inhalation. Visit ENT specialist once and get it examined. You should go for sinus X ray and CT scan done as well. You can go for drainage of sinuses to relieve pressure and surgical reconstruction of opening after proper prescription. Do warm saline gargles.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
