Would suggest rather a thorough ENT exam in trying to better understand and address their chronicity. Another 5 days might give you some temporary relief, but not a solution in the long range. A firm diagnosis will be needed at this point.

Can a sinus infection be on just one side of the head? Is it 'normal' to smell a weird smell & have nose bleeds down throat? What about ear/eye pain?
