A doctor has provided 1 answer

Head colds and other viral upper respiratory tract infections are making a comeback as people stopped wearing masks. I think you have one now. Nasal congestion does impair breathing. Nasal irrigation with clean warm salt water or decongestant nasal spray helps. I usually withhold antibiotics for head colds unless symptoms persist beyond one week or fever or,cough with discolored sputum develops.
