Hi!
Welcome to HCM!
Your symptoms suggest Acute sinusitis.Acute sinusitis usually goes away on its own , treatments that may help to ease symptoms. In most people, acute sinusitis develops after a cold or flu-like illness. The infection usually remains viral before clearing, in a small number of cases, bacteria add on to an infection and can cause a bacterial sinus infection which can make the infection worse and last longer.Some treatments may help to relieve symptoms whilst waiting for your immune system to clear the infection. These include paracetamol or ibuprofen to ease pain or fever .
Keeping hydrated can be helpful, so have plenty of drinks.
Warm face packs held over the sinuses may help to ease pain.
Saline nasal drops may help to relieve congestion and blockage in the nose.
Steam inhalation and hot showers may help.
Take care!
