Use a sarm compresses. Try otc decongestants – use spray no more than 3 days. Try otc antihistamines or allergy medicine. If no improvement, see your md for prescription drugs.

OTC antihistamines: Check with your doctor, but should benefit from otc meds like claritin, allegra, zytrec. New med nasacort (triamcinolone) might also work.
