Please help me Sinus infection since April!

Please please can someone help me
In April I kept getting really dry throat etc, Then developed a cold, then post nasal drip constantly!!! I was given 7 days of Co-amoxclav then it still has not gone so I went back to my GP he prescribed another 10 days of 500mg Co-amoxclav, then After symptoms did not disappear he sent me for sinus x-ray this confirmed Thickened Mucus membranes at which point my DR referred me to a ENT. Saw the ENT three weeks ago who after allergy testing confirmed non-allergic rhinitis. He prescribed a nose spray called Nasex. I am still suffering with terrible headaches like a pressure like pain across my forehead, Thick clear mucus, occasionally it's yellow ish. I have resigned from my job as I have been taking too many sick days and im really at my wits end. I have tried many different brands of antihistamines and I have also tried many herbal remedies including apple cider vinegar and I wash out my sinus daily with baking soda and sea salt. The only temporary relief I get is taking Sudafed.
Forgot to mention that when I saw the ENT I also had a CT scan, the results only showed slight thickening (he did not seen concerned)  (Could the negative resuly be becasue I had just finished another course on antiobiotics?)  I also get a pain in my neck underneath my ear lobes that feels like my ears are full................occasional face pressure both sides (although never at the same time!)  From occasion I get a burning sensation in my nose and also get nosebleed in the ,morning although only slight. Please can anybody help me im getting desperate im not due to see the specialist until November again!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I CANNOT TAKE ANYMORE OF THIS HEADACHE!!!!!!!!!

I think maybe you are thinking about it a little to much my sister has allergies really bad and you should start taking allergie meds. in like early march or it wont work as well my sis figured that out the hard way. just relax you will be fine and I am sure you are not the only one going threw this and keep your stress down n take vitamins every day that will boost your immune system and make you feel better . If your mucus from your nose is ever green you should go to the doc cuz your sinus infection could move to your brain.i hope I help
