Colds: First of all, drink plenty of fluids and rest, if possible. To help with a stuffy nose, try saline nasal spray as often as necessary. A good decongestant is Pseudoephedrine taken orally - either liquid or pill.

I've had sinus blockage for about 3 years. i've been taking over the counter meds that don't work and was given RX for nasal spray but still nothing. . . about a year ago i sneezed a small chunk of flesh out, after i though i had mucus in my nose that would not come out. i went in to immediate care and the flesh was dismissed. should i go be seen about nasal polyps? ive been tired, and sleepy and lacking energy because i cant breathe. What should i do? sinus issues

I developed cold symptoms three weeks ago. Runny nose, sore throat, cough. Took some over the counter cold medicine and sore throat and cough improved. Now runny nose and blocked sinus still persists resulting in wet cough at times?
