In absence of any injury/ trauma, the symptoms as mentioned in your post can be due to: 1. Sinusitis 2. Migraine 3. Tension headache 4. Cluster headache
Management involves: 1. Paracetamol (500 mg to be taken thrice a day) for symptomatic relief. 2. Antibiotics based on culture & sensitivity reports. 3. Steam inhalation 4. Antihistamines like Allegra can also be used.
So, kindly consult your General Physician & start treatment. Investigations like complete blood count & X ray of para-nasal sinus will be helpful.
Wishing a good health. Take care.
