Sinus infection for a week.zpack for 5 days+home self care.classic sinus syptoms+plugged ringing ears&dull pain in back of head.getting worse.now what?

Sinusitis: Often, antibiotics are unnecessary in managing sinus infection. Treatment should be accompanied by nasal irrigation with saline (neti-pot), decongestants (pseudoephedrine or oxymetozaline nasal spray), possibly nasal steroids and pain control with nsaids. If these measures do not help, see an ENT doctor. Good luck.
