Hello,

It may be due to allergy or eustachian tube block or infection. Use otrivin nasal spray twice a day for five days. Avoid cool drinks and freeze water. Use water vapour inhalation thrice a day and salt water gargling thrice a day for five days. If symptoms not improved please consult with your ENT specialist he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
