Hi,

Your symptoms sound to be due to common cold from allergy or due to viral infection. This usually subsides in 3 to 7 days.

I advise you to do steam inhalation twice a day which helps a lot. You can take some antihistamines particularly before bed time as they may make you feel drowsy.
Please cover your nose while sneezing as infection may spread to your family members and colleagues.

Hope it helps!
