Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for the query.
It sounds like you have some inflammation in the nasal and sinus passageways.
I would suggest you obtain an over the counter nasal steroid spray - Flonase or Nasonex are two name brands of this product which helps to alleviate inflammation and swelling.
If you use one of these nasal sprays as directed I am confident that within a few days you should see some improvement of your symptoms.
If your symptoms fail to improve then you might benefit from a consult with your primary care physician for further recommendations.
Thanks again for the query.
Sincerely,
Dr Galamaga
