Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Sinus infection is treated by administration of a course of antibiotics, which would eliminate the bacteria causing infection.
However, until the mucosal ducts are cleared completely and facilitates easy drainage of mucous, you might experience facial pain.
Kindly do the following to overcome the same.
1. Take steam inhalation twice daily.
2. Do salt water gargling twice daily.
3. Take syrup containing mucolytic agents like Ambroxol or Bromhexine.
4. Take analgesic medication like Ibuprofen after food when the pain does not subside by undertaking usual measures.
Gradually, you should be able to overcome the problem. Avoid intake of cold items like cool drinks and ice creams.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
Wish you good health.
Regards,
