Hi,

I think you are suffering from sinusitis from quite a long time so the over counter medications don't work. At this point you may need to use antibiotics and Augmentine for 14 days is advisable and also Corticosteroid spry. Using antihistamines can help improve symptoms.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
