Pressure in head and diff swallowing any sugg bc the dr has none?

How long?: A cold would cause those symptoms, so an antibiotic generally would not be prescribed, because antibiotics will do nothing for viruses. If your symptoms last longer than 10 days, or get a lot worse before then instead of slowly getting better, you might have a sinus infection.
