ENT : At this price point by your son needs to visit an ENT surgeon for a full exam nasal scope and get a sinus culture performed. Until then he should continue Flonase intranasal spray OTC one puff in each nostril each day. If pressure, headache or fever go to ER for immediate ENT consultation and imaging.

I have had sinus congestion, facial pain, sneezing, runny nose and red throat. This all started with an ear infection. Dr gave me Augmentin for a sinus infection. Is this COVID? It doesn't seem to be going away after 10 days?
