Hi. This is a diagnosed case of sinusitis and i would advice such patients for an additional/ change to broadspectrum antibiotic , continue Tylanol. Add nasal decongestant drops followed by plain water steam inhalation, complete bed rest. An X-ray or a CT scan may help to confirm the clinical diagnosis by your Doctor. and blood tests to support.
