Anyone had recurring headache for days after cold/Sinusitis?

I've had cold and Sinusitis for 2 weeks. I took antibiotic (Doxycyline) for the Sinusitis and have just finished the course.
Although I no longer feel ill, mucus nearly all cleared up, I'm getting an agonising headache every morning above and around one eye. It develops over the morning eases in the afternoon then comes back but mildly for the evening.
I'm just wondering if this is to be expected and is it ok to take Ibuprofen each morning? I'm fed up with stuffing myself with pain killers. Should I take it before the pain starts. Would this help stave it off?
Thanks for reading.

Perhaps using a nasal steroid might help. Sounds like you still have inflammmation going on.
