Call in: Call the ent's office and ask about any cancellations on the next business day. This could be a complicated ear or sinus infection if the pain around your eye persists. If you begin to lose vision or have double vision, present to an emergency setting for an urgent evaluation. Make sure to take any prescribed decongestants.

Comgestion: It seems you have seen your primary doctor initially for suggestions . There are other nasal steroids that might help besides nasonex, (mometasone) but sometimes combinations of rx like nasal decongestant sprays, oral decongestants, nasal steroids, mucolytics like guaifenesin, ; oral steroids are necessary to alleviate sinus and eustachian tube congestion. The ENT appt is necessary sooner than later.
