Ongoing fluctuating sinus pain for 4 weeks plus

I caught this cough that seems to be doing the rounds in mid January and it then followed that my sinuses became painful particularly on the right side. I cannot seem to get rid of the excess mucus causing the cough and, presumably, the sinus pain. I thought it had eased this week but yesterday it was back again with a vengeance.

I've tried sudafed (with and without painkillers added) and otrivine nasal spray. I've also been using ibuprofen which sometimes seems to work for a while. The 'cold' sets it off if I walk the dog....and yesterday it was 8°C which isn't that cold!

I'm heartedly sick of it now - should I see my GP? Mucus doesn't seem to be anything other than clear and cough is productive.

    Hi Andrea, Try Vicks Sinus. It does help with congestion and sinus pain. Did you go to a ENT for your sinues? Sinus pain is so Nasty. It affects your eyes, nose, throat ears and pain on the right side. It constantly hurts my head also. I think I am going to order a moist humidifier. So I can

    Breath better. Goodluck with your choice of finding a ENT. Jeannie
