Brief Answer:
Need to rule out sinusitis.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Definitely not the diagnosis, but based on your description I will keep the possibility of sinusitis as most likely.
A headache and nose block along with swelling over the eyelid is typical of sinusitis.
I will urge you to see a doctor for examination. X-ray of paranasal sinus may be needed if required.
In the meanwhile, try steam inhalation along with decongestant medications like tab Sinarest thrice daily.
Hope I have answered your query.
Take care
