Brief Answer:
Probably sinus infection, follow the advice below.

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

Your symptoms seem to be related to a sinus infection.
To confirm the diagnosis, there are some examinations that should be done:
-first of all a physical examination
-a sinuses x-ray
-a complete blood count

Meanwhile, some advice that I can give to you are:
-use saline nasal spray for relief
-use anti-inflammatory medication such as ibuprofen 400 mg three times a day
-use a humidifier at home
-drink liquids
If the symptoms continue you should probably take prescribed antibiotics.
You should consult your doctor about this treatment.

Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
