Hi.
Noted that the problem is for 2 weeks, a long time for persistence of any problem.
I would think of an infection with added allergy component when one suffers like this.
Many patients of an allergy to some medicine or food additives present like this.
I would suggest to see a Doctor / MD so that a proper diagnosis is done and I think you need a combination of steroids, antibiotics and antihistamine is needed, for which a Doctor's prescription is needed.
