Hi welcome to the health care magic
Here trouble in swallowing can be from acute pharyngitis associated with sinusitis or from excess mucus leading obstruction
So here consult doctor for examination and if inflammation severe enough than short term betamethasone steroid can be prescribed
For congestion relief steroid or benadryl like decongestant prescribed according to severity
Your sinusitis not getting better with an to boot, so PNS x ray and biopsy like other investigation done If needed to do further work up and to reveal fungal infection if suspected in which antibiotic not working
Take care
Consult otorhinolaryngologist for examination
