Hello,
His symptoms are suggestive of a local infection. For this reason, I would recommend irrigation of the sinuses with saline solution. If this problem persists, I recommend consulting with an ENT specialist for a physical exam and performing a nasal discharge bacterial culture.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
