Brief Answer:
Most probably you're suffering from the Rhino sinusitis

Detailed Answer:
Hi Sir,
I have gone through your question and understand your concern; and most probably it suggest that you may be suffering from the rhino sinusitis.

If I were your treating doctor, I would like to prescribe
1. Macrolide antibiotics such as AZITHROMYCIN 500 mg once a day for at least 10 days.
2. Local nasal decongestant such as Xylometazoline nasal drop 2 drop three times a day for five days.
3. Nasowash nasal wash once a day.

I would like to suggest that discuss the above mentioned steps with your treating doctor for management and prescription.

I would like also suggest that you may go for the CT scan of Paranasal sinuses and nasal endoscopy to rule out the other disease and to reach the near diagnosis.

Regards
Dr Hariom Sharma MS, XXXXXXX
