Hello,
The symptoms are suggestive of acute sinusitis. You can try steam inhalation to open up clogged sinuses. Antihistamine like Cetirizine can also be tried. If symptoms persist better to consult an ENT specialist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Wishing you all the best.
Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
