Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having acute sinusitis giving this trouble.
You might require one antibiotic medicine course like Amoxicilin for 5 days.
Meanwhile continue with decongestant medicine with analgesic clockwise.
Go for vicks vapor inhalation.
Avoid cold drinks and junk food.
Take complete rest.
Ok and take care.
