General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

The nasal swelling is due to inflammation/swelling of the blood vessels & accumulation of fluids (non-allergic rhinitis). It is caused by infection or environmental factors that triggers like smoke, pollen, paint fumes, changes in the weather, etc. Swollen glands can be tonsils/headache due to cold. After consultation with PCP take antihistamines, decongestants, acetaminophen (Tylenol)or Ibuprofen & antibiotics/antivirals for relieve. If you are having problems still it can be sinusitis, get nasal X-ray done for your paranasal sinuses, get treated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Nupur K.
