What you ate having is a severe rhinosinusitis and hence the pain in the head and neck.
There is a lot of congestion also in the sinuses as you describe causing the pain during coughing.
I believe you should start an antibiotic prophylaxis with azithromycin for 3 days and also start steam inhalation at home 3 times daily. Continue the xylometazoline however you should take a antihistaminic also and a pain killer
