Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The sinus infection can be secondary to bacterial infection. Nothing to be panic, consult an ENT surgeon and get it evaluated. If it is because of the bacterial infection, then take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin and metronidazole (if you are not allergic). Take steam inhalation. If there are any causes inside the sinus like polyp or cyst within the maxillary sinus, then you need to get it surgically treated.
The pain in the shoulder can be secondary to musculoskeletal problems so you can take analgesics like ibuprofen(if you are not allergic).
I hope I have answered your query, take care.
