Sinus

I recently have had eye pressure on my right eye and right ear.  I have gone to the doctor and he has concluded that I have sinus and allergy symtoms (symptoms).  How long will I have these symtoms (symptoms)?

I can't say.  You need to find out what exactly you have first of all.  I'm usually a proponant of CT scanning of the sinsues to see what is happening where so that proper treatment can be undertaken.  Treatment can include things like antibiotics, allergy pills and eye drops, decongestants, mucolytics and somtimes even sinus surgery.  So I don't know the whole picture and don't know how you will respond to treatment. Consider seeing an ENT specialist ast well as an ophthalmologist.
