Hello,
Your symptoms are suggestive of an upper airway infection. I recommend consulting with an ENT specialist fora physical exam and some tests:
- Complete blood count, PCR, ESR
- A sinus X-ray study
- Allergy tests may be needed too, as the symptoms develop during the day
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
