Hello,
Your symptoms are suggestive of a sinus infection or bacterial infection, considering the long time. I recommend consulting with your doctor for a physical exam and performing a sinus X-ray study, coupled with some blood lab tests (complete blood count, PCR, ESR). You may need to start antibiotics.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
