Hello,
Well, staying at home alone will not solve the problem as there is sinus infection and it needs to be treated with antibiotics to relieve the symptoms faster.
I would suggest you to consult an Emergency room and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like PNS view x ray should be done for further confirmation.
You can be advised a course of antibiotics like Augmentin, Cephexime etc, anti-inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen, decongestants like Pseudoephadrine, do saline nasal irrigation, steam inhalation and use a humidifier in your room. You can also be advised decongestant nasal sprays containing Xylometazoline or Oxymetazoline.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
