Brief Answer:
Sinusitis likely needs management

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

Thank you for asking.

I read your question and i understand your concern. Head pressure including face, eyes and ears with a cough and sore throat likely points towards sinusitis and needs supportive care. Yes, you should consult a local doctor preferably otolaryngologist or a physician. They will do some work up and then prescribe you some decongestants and antibiotics and supportive pain relief.

I hope it helps. Take good care of yourself.

Regards.
