Concussions are caused by traumatic injury to brain by sudden movement eg. like in an accident. Sinus pain and headache can be a result of concussion. It is called Post-Concussion Syndrome.
So it appears you do not have a cold. Your symptoms are a result of concussion.
You can take tylenol for headaches. other than that I don't think there is a need for any medicine.
hope this helps. Thank you.
