Detailed Answer:
Hello

It is likely that the tingling is due to the infection in the sinuses and i would like you to meet your ent doctor for the same.

The tingling may indicate that the infection is spreading to the walls of the sinus and is a cause of concern.

You may need to change your antibiotics and may need surgical drainage of the infection , please meet your ent doctor for confirming this and for the prescription.
