Brief Answer:
sounds like sinusitis

Detailed Answer:
the symptoms are quite suggestive of a possible sinusitis.
i think that you should test a x ray pns waters view to confirm the diagnosis.
if found to have sinusitis, following steps should help-
1. steam inhalation 4 times a day
2. warm saline gargles 4 times a day
3. nasal drops of oxemetazoline 4 times a day.
Best of luck.
