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.
