There is a likelihood of a sinus infection. A course of antibiotics may be indicated. Keep nasal passages clear with nasal saline spray. Avoid possible triggers such as smoke and dust exposure. Consider a referral to Pulmonary and ENT. Watch for signs of shortness of breath and fever. A virtual consult with Healthtap is available.
