I've had similar event on the last two weeks. Something that helped me alot was nasal rinsing. It reduces the infection and helps your body to recover in no time...

I’m on meds … anti inflammatory, something for the congestion, and a mild antibiotic
I hope your get well soon. Why not try:
1. A bottle of nose rinsing(Easy to find and buy).
2. Three bags of 0,8 g of salt each.
3. Dilute it in 250 ml of water.
4. Heat the water a little so it can be more comfortable for you.
It can be difficult in the beginning, but you are gonna get there quick.
Thanks, bud
