Hello!
You can start to feel an improvement 48 to 72 hours after starting the antibiotic treatment. It is normal to have a headache when you have sinusitis. The pain can be relieved with acetaminophen or ibuprofen combined with a decongestant such as pseudoephedrine (if you have no contraindications (other medications or health problems)). You can also use a saline nasal douche such as Hydrasense or Sinus rinse to help drain and moisturize the sinuses. All of this may help you get relief faster.
Don't hesitate if you have any other questions,
Professionally,

Since yesterday I have a pain located more precisely in the left temple, can it be related to the sinuses?
