Standard medicines: You likely have an acute (active) sinusitis. You can use over the counter medicine to treat it. Consult with your pharmacist to see what your options are (make sure to tell him your allergies, etc). If it does not improve (or gets worse) in a few days, go see your primary doctor.

Sinusitis: Sinusitis is common in certain areas of the country with high allergens. Most acute sinusitises are treated by primary care only when the patient deteriorates or continues to have symtoms are they referred to ent. Is sounds like you may have some chronic sinus problems and may benefit by a referral to ent.
