You betcha!: These are common symptoms of sinusitis. Follow your doctor's instructions, take all the meds & follow-up. If your symptoms don't improve, further evaluation is in order. Know though, that sinusitis can be tough to treat & may require 2 or so courses of antibiotics. Also avoid environmental irritants to the respiratory tract which prolong and/or complicate treatment: no fragrances, aerosols
