How do you know?: You sure its a sinus headache? Many causes for headaches. If you do have chronic sinus congestion may need antibiotics or prescription nasal steroid or CT scan of sinuses

Several: Avoid indoor allergens...animal, living plants; change air filter routinely, Avoid nicotine/dusty/chemicals. Take antihistamine and singulaire and Nasal spray routinely, Take vit C daily, zinc may help. Now if no releif....allergy test and desensitization may help. Healthy food and exercise helps.

Allergic rhinitis: Sometimes some antihistamines work better for some people than others. Trial and error OTC meds, unfortunately still. Try leaning your head over the side of your bed while lying on your back and using sterile saline drops/spray in one nostril at a time with rotaing your head in all directions to let entry into all sinuses. If necessary, a corticosteroid spray or chromolyn nasal spray can help.
