Hello ma'am, have your other symptoms improved? Thank you for the information. What I can suggest is to use a nasal spray such as Dristan, Drixoral or other for a maximum of 3 to 5 days, after confirming with your pharmacist that this kind of product is safe for you (according to your medical history and current treatments in particular). 10 to 15 minutes after spraying, I suggest the Valsalva maneuver: take a deep breath, then close your mouth and pinch the nostrils of your nose and try to exhale as if you were blowing into a balloon while keeping your lips closed. If the situation does not improve after 3 days, you should consult a doctor as a precaution. I am available if you have any further questions! Sincerely, Tom Samaha, pharmacist
