Stomach problem: it is unlikely that your stomach problem is due to sinus infection. You may have problem with acid reflux (gastritis) please see your physician. You may use Zantac (ranitidine) 150 mg (or Prilosec) both available over the counter

Post nasal drainage: Copious post nasal purulence (pus) may cause throat irritation as well as nausea. Guifenesin will thin the secretions and help expectorate pus and mucus from your sinus' and lungs. Increase water intake temporarily to the point of clear colorless urine. Nasal saline irrigations and salt water throat gargles may also help. See your physician with persistent symptoms.
