Coming late to this thread, glad to hear you're feeling better. My first thought was that it can take a few days for sinus infections to start feeling better because there's so much congestion in a small space in your head, you can't help but be severely affected by it.
I was also going to ask you how you were taking the ibuprofen, and whether it was OTC or prescription dose. Many people don't seem to take it correctly.
I was also going to suggest cold compresses to your head. Heat expands things so can make congestion worse (although if it helps, then hey). Cold constricts, so in theory, it would help the swelling a bit. But really, it's about whatever works for you.
