Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
I understand your concern regarding sharp pains in the top of the head. Sinusitis can present with pain in different parts of the head and face depending on the sinus involved.
You are also having discomfort while bending and pressure is due to inadequate drainage of the sinuses. I suggest steaming to relieve the pressure and aid drainage of sinuses. Please complete the full course of antibiotics prescribed. You will be better in a week.
Thanks
