See your healthcare provider if the pain lasts for several days or there are any signs of bacterial infection, such as fever or foul smelling nasal discharge. You may be prescribed antibiotics or other medicines. If the sinus above or below the eyes are swollen or bulging, see your healthcare provider immediately. Sinus problems can last a few days, a few weeks, or months. If one does not treat a short-term problem, it can become a long term problem.
Surgery is a last resort in some cases of recurrent sinus infections.
