Your sinusitis not improving with medicines. So it's advisable to investigate further with paranasal sinus x-ray and complete blood count.
You can be prescribed broad spectrum antibiotic course for 7 days. For congestion relief, short-term steroid also can be prescribed. Steam inhalation can be done three times a day.
Kindly attach your reports especially X-ray to guide you further.

You have symptoms of sinusitis along with nasal congestion and headache which seems to be due to flu or the common cold and could be due to Eustachian tube pressure build up. Need not to worry. I would suggest you take preventive measures. Take a diet rich in Vitamin B12.
Apply mist humidifiers in the room. Do nasal saline rinses. Apply warm compresses to ear. If symptoms keep on persisting, then visit ENT specialist without any delay and get it examined. Go for the blood test and start treatment after the complete examination. Take the combination of anti-inflammatory and antibiotic medication.
