Can Migraine headache pills also work for sinus headaches or any other severe headache?

I take treximet for my migraines but I also get sinus headaches with severe pain.
the treximet got rid of the headache I had like that in less then an hour.

Treximet should only be used for migraines. The naproxen in the combo might help your headache some, but the sumatriptan only works on migraines. You should try a decongestant to help relieve the pressure (such as Sudafed- and not Sudafed PE) and can use Tylenol or an NSAID (naproxen, ibuprofen, etc) for the pain. If this combo still doesn’t work for you, talk to your MD or pharmacist.
