Try Afrin (oxymetazoline)?: You may try afrin nasal spray for no more than 5 days. If the symptoms last more than 10 days see your doctor to make sure that you are not ending up with a sinus infection.

Mucinex (guaifenesin) D: Mucinex (guaifenesin) d has pseudoephedrine, which is a decongestant. It will work much better than mucinex (guaifenesin).
