Brief Answer:
Yoi should take antihistamine.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Ask a doctor forum.
I can understand your concern.
By your history and description, we should definitely start antihistamine and anti inflammatory drug.
Take them for 5 days.
If it is sinusitis related then you will definitely improve.
But if it is due to other reason then you may need MRI brain to rule out cause.
Sometimes vitamin B12 deficiency can also cause similar symptoms.
