Hello dear,

The symptoms as mentioned in your post is suggestive of Sinusitis.
The cough & tickle in throat is attributable to post-nasal drip.

Management involves:
1. Paracetamol (500 mg to be taken thrice a day) for symptomatic relief from pain & fever.
2. Antibiotics based on culture & sensitivity reports.
3. Steam inhalation
4. Antihistamines like Allegra can also be used.
5. Anti-tussive preparations to be taken for symptomatic relief from cough.

So, kindly consult your General Physician & start treatment.
Investigations like complete blood count & X ray of para-nasal sinus will be helpful.

Wishing you a good health.
