26 wks, constant headache for 2+ wks

I have had a constant headache behind my eyes/forehead and at the top of my head for about 2 weeks now, along with severe congestion. I went to an urgent care, tested negative for covid, and was prescribed Cefdinir to treat sinus infection. While my congestion has improved some (now on day 5 of 10 of antibiotic), my headaches haven't gotten any better.

I'm taking Tylenol as often as I can but it's not really helping either, and I worry about taking it for too long while pregnant. I also sleep elevated, do a warm compress on face, use a humidifier and peppermint oil, etc.

I am calling my OB tomorrow, but in the meantime (to those who have had a similar experience), is there a supplement or something else I can take for the headaches? It's waking me up at night and I'm desperate for some relief.
