What's the best over the counter medicine to use for stuffy nose congestion and coughing up mucus? its a yellow and brown color
A doctor has provided 1 answer
How long?: If these are from a cold, then a few days of topical nasal decongestant spray may work the best. If these are recurrent or persistent problems, then you need to consult an allergist to find out if you are allergic or whether you have asthma. The cause of the condition dictates the type of treatment.
