Hi..
Thanks for the query..

The symptoms that you are explaining can be due to either Sinus infection or Sinusitis causing mucous accumulation in the sinuses..
Other common cause can be Nasal Polyps..
So for a confirmation you should consult an Emergency room and get evaluated and a Nasal Endoscopy can be done for confirmation..
If there is sinus infection then a course of antibiotics, decongestant nasal sprays, saline nasal irrigation can help in relief..
If there is a nasal polyp then steroid inhalations can help in improvement..
In case of no improvement Endoscopic Sinus Surgery can be done for relief in sinusitis.
Polyp removal can be done if it does not regress with steroids..

Hope this helps..

Regards.
