Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Based on your description, it appears that you are having an infection of upper respiratory tract and sinuses.

Kindly do the following to overcome it.
• Do salt water gargling twice daily.
• Take steam inhalation twice daily.
• Take tablet Levocetirizine (antihistaminic medication) once a day.
• Take decongestant syrup containing Bromhexine and Phenylephrine.
• Avoid consumption of cold items like cool drinks and ice creams.

Gradually, your symptoms should subside completely.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ashakiran S
