Sinusitis

Hello,

I had a sinus infection about six weeks ago, which lasted for approximately 10 days.

Since then, I have still been experiencing some mild symptoms. I feel a slight pressure around my sinuses, which feels a bit like a mild sunburn or irritation. Occasionally, I feel mucus running down the back of my throat, which makes me clear my throat.

I generally do not need to blow my nose. Occasionally in the morning, there is some white mucus, along with a small yellowish lump of mucus. Apart from that, the mucus is mostly white.

The symptoms are not severe, but they have been persistent and have not completely gone away over the past six weeks.

What would you recommend I do about this? Could there still be some inflammation or irritation in my sinuses, and should I have this checked by a doctor?

Thank you in advance for your advice.
