Suggest Treatment For Sinusitis

I have the symptoms of TMJ or sinusitis. I go to a dental clinic in a few weeks. My doctor has given me Doxycycline for a a possible bacterial infection. Now I have a swelling of the bone behind my right ear. Could this be one of the symptoms of TMJ or something else?
