How can i relieve the pressure in my head from uri?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pseudo...: Fluid that builds up in cavities such as the sinuses or the middle ear due to a URI can be treated over the counter with decongestant medications. Pseudoephedrine is an active ingredient of many such decongestants, which is quite effective. Speak to a pharmacist about which decongestant is the best for you.
