Hello, thank you for your question! To better understand your needs, would it be possible to know if you have other symptoms like: fever a recent cold a runny or blocked nose? Other symptoms? Thank you for your time! Thanks for the information! It could be that fluid build-up is one of the causes of your symptoms. To help clear it up, I suggest you blow your nose, and use a nasal decongestant like Otrivin or Dristan, twice a day for up to 3 days (use in the nostrils). After using the decongestant, Block your nostrils with your fingers and try to breathe out through your nose This maneuver can be done morning and evening for 2 to 3 days. If it does not work, you will need to see a doctor for an evaluation of your condition Sincerely Tom Samaha, pharmacist With the help of Alexandre Chagnon, pharmacist
