Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this sinusitis though happy as symptoms seem to be giving way. This back pain is most likely mechanical. I will suggest that you take Tylenol for this. Do not exceed 4000mg in any 24hours interval. Also, try to sleep comfortable over night as poor sleeping posture could also cause this.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be. Above all, thanks for using our services.
