Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Obviously pain is from irritation. There are several connections between the throat and sinuses. Chemicals can get into the area and irritate it. It takes a while for it to work its way out. Aspirin like drugs have a small chance of helping. Counter irritation might make it better or worse. Hard to say. AN example of counter irritants would be inhaled menthol or vicks vaporub.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
