Hello,
Yes you should consult an ENT specialist and get examined .
There could be infection as there is fever. You need to take antibiotics and decongestants and anti- inflammatory medicines .
It could be a viral illness which will go by its own after 5-6 days but taking medicines will give symptom relief and in addition will prevent further spread of infection or prevent any other infection.
In doubt do reply.
