Brief Answer:
Supportive care

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking

I read your question and i understand your concern. Stuffed nose, sinuses congestion, headache altogether indicate sinusitis. Saline wash and irrigation is part of helpful management but alone may not help. Sinusitis usually needs antibiotics, decongestants, nasal corticosteroids, some pain killers like advil and supportive home remedies like warm comforting beverages , green or herbal tea mixed with honey. Rest adequately, take more fluids and hope for the best.

I hope it helps. take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.

As far as trying home remedies and not responding is concerned, that means you need a prescription. And for that, i am afraid we can't be of help as we are here just to guide and counsel and cant prescribe .

I hope it helps.
