Hi,

It looks like you are suffering from sinus infection or Sinusitis leading to the symptoms that you are facing. If it is not an allergy then it can be due to infection in the sinuses or sinusitis.

So my suggestion is to consult an Otolaryngologist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like PNS view X-ray or MRI scan can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done accordingly.

You can be advised a course of antibiotics, anti-inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen, decongestants like Pseudoephedrine, do saline nasal irrigation, steam inhalation and use a humidifier in your room. You can also be advised decongestant nasal sprays containing Xylometazoline or Oxymetazoline. Avoid spicy and chilled foods. Do warm compresses around nostrils.

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

Regards,
Dr. Honey Arora,
Dentist
