Hello and welcome to health care magic,
In any infection you need to consult a doctor and if your symptoms are not getting better then it is understood that the infection are not getting controlled with just the medications you are currently using.
you can do steam inhalation with menthol and see if that helps and also start antibiotics like amox-clav and pain killer like paracetamol in consultation with your doctor.
Benadryl sinus may help but it is advisable to take it in the proper guidance of a doctor
