Is there anything I can take? I've done the neti pot and am drinking lots of fluids. I can actually breathe ok, but I have extremely concentrated pain right between my eyebrows.

I get this too, it sucks! Tylenol for the pain kinda helps. A humidifier really helped my stuffiness too. My doctor recommended that and Claritin. I think regular Sudafed is ok too but I haven't tried it.
Put the heel of your hand in that spot between your eyes and press up ward. This acupressure maneuver can give some temporary relief by opening your sinuses. Hot liquids are the best for breaking up congestions. Good luck.
My doctor also okayed regular Sudafed, Mucinex and Robatussin when I had bronchitis a couple of weeks ago. I went with Robatussin since the syrup soothed my sore throat, but the doctor preferred Sudafed since it actually dries you up.
