You have acute rhinitis and acute sinusitis most probably. You may also have an ear infection. You will need a prescription for antibiotics and decongestants from your doctor. Meanwhile as home remedies, do steam inhalation 3 times a day, warm saline gargle 3 times a day. You can also use nasal decongestant drops to releive the congestion.
