If it is a sinus problem one should confirm it by investigation like X - ray pns,
One should take one long course of antibiotic, nasal decongestant drops, anti histaminic and analgesic. But avoid prednisone.
As far as eye pressure (IOP) is concerned it will be raised by unjudicious use of prednisone.
Thank you.
