Most probably Acute Frontal Sinusitis! You need to get a CT scan of your paranasal sinuses. If it confirms blocked Frontal Sinus Ostia, a Balloon Sinuplasty, a minimally invasive procedure similar to Coronary Angioplasty, wherein a thin balloon catheter is gently passed into the frontal sinus through nose and then  balloon is dilated producing a widened sinus ostium almost instantly! The patient is usually discharged once anaesthesia wears off!
Next Steps
Use this app to either consult me directly after getting the scan done and upload the report here or use this app to find a good ENT Surgeon specialising in doing Balloon Sinuplasty in your city and fix up an appointment immediately.
