Detailed Answer:
Hello again.
I would recommend an x ray or CT para nasal sinus, to look for opacification or haziness of sinuses. Antibiotics such as moxifloxacin can be advised along with nasal decongestants such as xynosine and mometasone combination. Claritin can also be continued as before.
If the x ray or CT is normal then celecoxib (NSAID) and tizanidine (Muscle relaxant) can be advised as empiric therapy for 2 weeks. Most likely the symptoms will improve.
As the history is short, migraine headache is unlikely plus there is also no aura or specific trigger associated with the headache. Eye examination should also be done.
You may discuss these options with your physician for further management.
Wishing you best of health
