How Can Sinusitis Be Treated?

I m trying to figure out what i have and how to treat it. At first a few weeks back started as what i took as a sinus infection as i ve had one before and all the symptoms lined up. I took all the presriced amoxicilan and some of the sudafed. Now i am not as stuffed up in my nose but i have some redness in the back of my throat and a consistant discomfort in parts of my head. Kind of like slight pressure headaches.
