ENT question: Whether you have chronic sinusitis and whether the pain in your head and face are due to this are questions that can only be answered by the treating doctor. If you are not responding to treatment it might be a good idea to be seen by an ENT specialist if you are not already.

Something else?: Consider a CT scan of your sinus. It could be your symptoms are not related to your sinuses at all. It it could be that your chronic sinusitis as progressed and you may need a procedure. Either way a visit With an ENT will be very helpful,
