Decongestant: Try an over-the-counter decongestant, or simply salt water gargles 2-3 times a day.

Treat the cause: Mucinex (guaifenesin) is a mucolytic that with the right amount of fluids helps with loosening up the secretions so you drain more easily. Treat the cause of irritation of the lining of the face and the excess mucous will decrease. Infection, irritants and allergies are the commonest causes.
