A true sinus infection is caused by bacteria. Technically, you cannot be diagnosed with a sinus infection unless you have had symptoms (pressure above eyes or next to nose, nasal cogestion, headache) for two weeks. If the symptoms are more brief, then it could be a viral infection (caused by a virus) that goes away on its own. If it lasts for two weeks or more, go see a doctor and get antibiotics which will treat the bacterial infection.
More than likely its a sinus infection.

Just stick to simple decongestant pills and saline nasal spray.
Yes Ceftin will treat a sinus infection. It is generally used for tougher infections and has a very bitter taste to it. If you coat it in honey and drink with a flavored drink the taste will be muted. If you have a child you can give them chocolate milk with it and they won't taste it either. In the chance you do get its bitter taste in your mouth eat some bread (1-2 slices) and the taste will go away.
