You have endured this for far too long now.

It appears that you have an infection.
I suggest you see your doctor who will probably give you a course of antibiotics to clear up the infection.  If you are experiencing pain in your neck area this can be from swollen glands, but you need to have meningitis ruled out.

With sinusitis the head doesn't normally hurt with movement.  You need a examination by your doctor.

In between time, as a home remedy you can take pain relief and do steam inhalations or use a nasal spray to unblock your sinus congestion.

For the steam inhalation, get a bowl of hot water with Vick or a few drops of Olbas oil, bend your head covered with a towel over the steamy water and inhale.  Take care not to get scalded.

Hope you manage to get an appointment soon with your doctor and with you a speedy recovery.
