A member asked:
Having sinusitis, what is the best way to cure throat congestion?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Congestion: I'd recommend using an OTC decongestant as long as you don't have any blood pressure problems. Also, using an OTC antihistamine would be beneficial. Warm salt water gargles. Sinus rinses also help. Using a humidifier. Hope this helps.
