It is quite possible that you might be having an upper respiratory infection, Sinusitis.
Please consult your doctor once again as you might require antibiotics.
In the meantime, I would advise you to:
Drink plenty of warm fluids a day (at least 8-10 glasses per day).for eg... 1 glass of warm water every 2 hours.
Steam inhalation 3 - 4 times a day.
Tylenol/ Paracetamol for the headache.
Are you on any other medications?
Any history of anxiety issues etc.?
I hope I have answered your question. Please do get back to me if you have further queries.
Get well soon :)
Regards,
Dr. Divya Kuttikrishnan
