Hello dear,

The symptoms as mentioned in your post can be attributed to acute exacerbation of Sinusitis.
Investigations like complete blood count & X-ray of paranasal sinus will be helpful in clinching the diagnosis.

Management includes:
1. Steam inhalation.
2. Analgesics like paracetamol
3. Nasal decongestant drops.
3. Antibiotics depending upon culture & sensitivity reports to remove the causative organism.
4. Antihistamine preparations can also be used to provide symptomatic relief.

Your symptoms will be relieved with this.
Wish you good health & a speedy recovery.
Take care.
