Hello

Your symptoms are suggestive of common cold which has progressed to sinusitis.
Symptoms of a common cold usually appear about one to three days after exposure to a cold-causing virus.
Signs and symptoms of a common cold may include:
Runny or stuffy nose, Itchy or sore throat, Cough, Congestion, Slight body aches or a mild headache
Sneezing, Watery eyes, Low-grade fever, Mild fatigue

If things get complicated it may lead to inflammation in sinuses causing sinusitis.

I hope this will help

best wishes
