Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Possible causes of unilateral headache with radiating to sinuses and neck may be migrainous headache or cluster headache or neuralgia or sinus headache or sagittal sinus thrombosis or intracranial bleeding etc. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Use tablet Naprosyn twice a day for five days. If symptoms not improved please consult your neurophysician he will examine and do MRI scan and treat you accordingly.
Take care.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu
