Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have persistent sinusitis along with facial tightness and headaches. Well the symptoms you mention in query can occur due to certain reasons , but in your case the symptoms are probably occurring due to sinusitis that too due to viral infection . Facial tightness can also be caused by condition like bell's palsy .I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist without any delay before infection get spread into eustachian tube . Doctor may order CT scan , throat swab test along with viral culture test . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics like amoxicillin , penicillin along with decongestant and expectorant . For now take steam several times a day , take paracetamol and do warm saline gargles .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
