Persistent nasal discharge suggests the possibility of chronic sinusitis with or without a background of allergic rhinitis.
You should consult your doctor, who may suggest a referral to an otolaryngologist for further evaluation.
Chronic sinusitis is usually treated with an extended course of antibiotics. As allergic rhinitis is often associated with chronic sinusitis, your doctor may prescribe steroid nasal sprays for you depending on how severe your symptoms are and how often you get them.
If the sinusitis is very severe, especially if associated with headaches and other symptoms, and does not resolve despite antibiotic therapy, surgical procedures may be considered such as a Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery.

I’ve had a really bad sinus headache for about 4 days including sharp intermittent ear pains and a constant dull pain at the base of my skull – all on the right side. My sinuses feel stuffy – lots of pressure – the whole side of my face feels swollen but doesn’t look it. I think it’s a sinus infection – I’m prone to them anyway – have already called the doctor but haven’t had a response from him yet. Anyone else with similar symptoms or any advice on treatment?

I think I may have a sinus infection, but others think it is a cold. The reason I think it is a sinus infection is because it happens almost the same time every year. I Usually get it when the weather goes from hot to cold or cold to hot drastically . My symptoms include facial been in the forehead and cheeks, my jaw hurt sometimes, headache, my nose is stuffed up and I have a slight cough. I have no fever or anything else.
If you could help that would be great.
