Doctor TIME.: Some people like to 'wing it' with their colds, sinus infections, etc... It is not a bad idea. But when you continue to feel 'sick' or suspect of having a sinus infection, it's time to go see the doctor which could help you out with prescription medication to help you feel better. Sinus infections usually cause sinus pressure, and tenderness in facial bones.
