Cold: It sounds like you have a cold or a sinus infection. Most of these are caused by viruses that take 2 to 3 weeks to resolve. However, if you start having fevers, chills and or Shortness of breath, please see a doctor ASAP.

Could be : Eustacian tube dysfunction. Get a saline nasal rinse and diligently doi it at least 3 times a day. Aldo try afrin) brand only) twice a day for three days then only at night. Also ask pharmacist for the nasal spray that recently came over the counter and use 2 sprays in each nostril twice a day. Hope it helps!!
