I have insurance. Last time I got a sinus infection I called my doctors office and told them what was going on (sinus infection, visible swelling on my face). It was a Friday am and I didn't want to suffer all weekend but my doctor didn't want to see me or call in a prescription for antibiotics. She instructed me to go to the ER.
