Please visit an ent specialist and get a detailed evaluation done. Since it is such a short duration it could be because of covid also. Or could be some other infection. Will need more history and will need to examine

Get your covid report done. If it's negative then may be it is because of sinusitis. Then you require proper medication for that.
