A member asked:

Following a cold, i have pain/ pressure feeling in nose, eyes, cheeks & feel as if mucus is dripping down back of my throat causing a cough? thanks

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sinus congestion: I would advise the use of several modalities: 1- use a 12 hr decongestant nasal spray for only 2-3 days-only if you are NOT hypertensive 2- use a nasal saline rinse, douche or netti pot. 3- hot steam showers 3-4 times/day and inhale warm vapors through your nose 4- drink 10 glasses of fluid /day 5- use zinc lozenges ( Cold Eze ) or 50 mg zinc tablets.
