Welcome to Healthcare Magic,
Your history and symptoms are suggestive of chronic sinusitis. I would suggest you to undergo CT scan, Endoscopic nasal examination and MRI this will help us to make a proper diagnosis.
The sinus tumors are very very rare but it can present with this symptoms but it will not subside by the routine treatment to sinus infection.
You may require a course of antibiotic and a steriod which may regress your symptoms. The aforementioned investigation helps to make proper diagnosis.
Thank you.
