Sinus congestion: Sinus pressure can be initially treated with oral decongestans like sudafed, nyquil daytime/nighttime, nasal saline sprays and Mucinex (guaifenesin) (turns thick mucous to thin mucous). A cool mist humidifer by the bedside can be soothing as well. If these household remedies are ineffective within one week, it is best to see you dr. For some prescription medication (nasal spray or antibiotic depending on cause.
