A member asked:

I have pressure in left side of head between temple and forehead and in my left cheek and a clogged ear. no pain. its been almost 5 days. telehealth dr suggested sudafed. at what point should i go in person? what else can it be than sinus?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Viral sinusitis: Your symptoms suggest of a viral sinus infection. If your symptoms persist for more than 10 days, you may need antibiotics at that point. That will be a good time to reconnect with a doctor, either in person or through telehealth. In the meantime apply warm compresses, use nasal saline rinses, decongestants, Tylenol or Ibuprofen for pain.
