See your doctor. : Your primary care physician could help you with medication if you exhausted otc treatment. Stay away from afrin (oxymetazoline) sprays as it could worsen your sinus. Antihistaminics are good otc. If your pcp can't help you an ENT specialist is a step up that if medications fail there are surgical procedures that could help. Stay away from known allergens.

Allergies.: That sounds like allergies. Nasal congestion, runny nose, cough, headache, facial pains and earache can be triggered by fragrances, dust mites (sweeping the floor), grass, trees, pets, environmental molds and such. There are outdoor and indoor allergens. And as an atopic condition, allergies and asthma can coexist - this could explain the breathing difficulty. See a doctor soon.
