Brief Answer:
You may be having a viral infection
Detailed Answer:
Hello
From your symptoms it looks like that you may be having a viral infection and you are in the early stage of the infection.
The viral infection can worsen your sinus congestion and can cause headaches.
Please continue your paracetamol and take rest and lots of fluids , it will help you recover faster.
Please remember it generally takes 3-5 days to recover and i would like you to take rest for at least 3-4 days.
You can also start steam inhalation 2 to 3 times a day , it will reduce the congestion.
If you develop cough , yellow colored nasal discharge or the headache becomes severe , then i would like you to meet your doctor as you will need to start on antibiotics.
You can also consider starting vitamin C supplements, it will help fight the infection and help in early recovery.
Dont worry , you will be fine!
Take care
