Hello,

The symptoms seem to be related to sinusitis. It is often accompanied by pain and congestion. I suggest using a decongestant such as Sudafed to relieve the congestion. I also suggest using anti-inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen to relieve the inflammation.

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

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
