If these symptoms stay for more than 1 week and are not getting cured even after taking medicines, then you should consult an ENT specialist for better evaluation. If this is not the case and you are not having  other health issues, these symptoms are very common among people of your age. Also, there may be several factors which can cause these symptoms e.g.  a change in temperature, drinking cold drink/ water , taking bath / washing hair at odd times( night) , or you may be more sensitive to all  of these slight changes etc. For further assistance/queries.
