A member asked:

Don't think it is allergies as usual treatment for that with antihistamines that work for me, were ineffective in helping with the sinuses?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sinus Infection: Hi, it could be a combination of allergies leading to sinus infection. You may need to do some nasal steroid sprays along with antihistamines. If you are having pain in the sinus area with yellowish, greenish discharge there may be some sinus infection and will need antibiotics.
