Suggest Remedy For Sinus Complications

I have been dealing with severe very bothersome sinus complications. I went to E.R 2mths ago they told me I had a tiny sinus infection. I have sinusitis have had it all my life.i recently moved to California a year ago and about 6 mths in is when my sinuses changed for the worse.It started with my left corner of my nose being blocked/pressure for mths, now I have severe pressure radiating from corner of my nose into my cheek it puts pressure on my eye and is very painful most of the time. I also get plugged up ears mainly my left ear but it Shifts from my left to right most the clogged up feeling is on my left ear along with the congestion/pressure that is mainly on the left side of my nose, face&head.The pressure makes me feel spaced out.The pressure can get so severe that I get nausea sometimes. I had a severe congestion feeling headache about a wk ago lasted all day made my ears plugged up, had a tight pressure band congestion feeling on top of head,severe pain especially on my cheek/eye.I have the same thing again tonight except this time it seems to have increased in intensity. When i lay down it hurts because it feels like the whole left side of my head is swollen up.I have a tiny bump on my head also I ve had it for a few mths.no pain but since I been getting these headaches the bump has been aggravated I think due to the swollen congestion. I feel like i have a severe blockage.i also feel liquid running out of my ears once the pressure let s off my stuffed up ear.my left ear has been stuffed up for mths.I so do have anxiety&stress.These sinus issues have caused my anxiety to go overboard. Can someone please help me? I have been having a lot of days crying so bad because this sinus congestion makes me feel so spacey and not well.I can barely function a normal daily activity much anymore without feeling miserable.Please help let me understand what I m going through..

Hello,
There are three things which are required to be done.
1st ...get a nasal dischrage culture to know the agent ( bacterial or fungal or mixed ) responsible for infection.
2nd...get an MRI of nasal sinuses done
3rd get the nasal endoscopy done.
Consult an ENT surgeon.
Treatment would depend upon finding the cause.
Till you meet an ENT...
Do regular steam inhalation twice a day.
Drink hot liquids
Avoid cold drinks.
Thanks
