Hi thanks for asking question.
The role of zinc in cold is uncertain.And use of zinc more then week is not recommended according to some study.
Its common side effects are mettalic taste in mouth with irritation in mouth.
It can also lead to stomach upset and if use over more then 5 week that lead to copper deficeincy.
For sinus it is better to take regular steam inhalation and antihistaminics might be helpful.
Continue the process that doctor suggest you to clear your sinuses but zinc should not use for long term duration.
I hope i have solve your query.
