Residual congestion: Hello UPedersen, Are your current symptoms purely congestion? Do you have fever/chills/shortness of breath/body aches? Allergies can also mimic symptoms of sinus infections and antihistamines help. Using a sinus rinse with salt water rinse can also help. For natural approaches drinking 1T of manuka honey with ginger in hot water has helped my other patients with similar symptoms.
