Hello user... You have raised a very important question. Previously upper airway and lower airway were considered Separate but now it is considered to an unified airway... And any obstruction on the airway above like nose will require more efforts from the lungs to breathe.... Generally a viral cold should have subsided by now, you need an appropriate examination .... Take care...

You seem to be suffering from acute rhinosinusitis which is common type of nose infection. You may need to take antibiotics, anti cold medicines and decongestant nasal drops for few days for faster recovery. Steam inhalation is also beneficial
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
