    I Take it you are in UK, so if that is the case, go to your GP for Antibiotics. I have sinus problems due to my Ryhinitis, one side of my face is uncomfortable and the mucous coming from the right nostril is not clear. I am taking myself to the Dr as there is some minor infection. Not had headache yet thank goodness.

    You poor thing it sounds awful. I have had this for 3 months with no relief now. Have had a CT scan but came back inconclusive. I would suggest doxycycline which is an antibiotic for sinus problems. Ask your GP. It's the only thing that has given me temporary relief, but keep doing saline solutions and steam inhalation too
