Hi

Welcome to HealthcareMagic forum

I think you could be having frontal sinusitis. You need to consult your doctor to get an X-ray or CT scan of the sinus done to rule out any sinus blockage.

1. Drink plenty of warm water to keep the nose and the throat hydrated.
2. Use saline nasal spray followed by steam inhalation 2-3 times a day, which helps in reducing the nasal congestion and clearing of the mucus.
3. Avoid coffee/chilled/hot beverages/alcohol/smoking if any.
4. Try taking mucolytic (such as ambroxol or bromhexine) to reduce the viscosity of the mucus
5. Anti-inflammatory medicines such as ibuprofen and diclofenac will help in reducing the headache.
