hi, your symptoms match chronic sinusitis. bacterial colonization in your sinuses will take a long time to abate, unless you use good antibiotics. if left like that, it may complicate. Take warm/hot water sips frequently, use a nasal decongestant and antibiotics of pencillin group like amoxycillin (over the counter)500 mg 3 times a day for 5-7 days. see the response and if there is no improvement, consult a physician. hope this helped.
