I have covid-19 and my nose is severely congested. i can't take decongestant with phenylephrine because they make me restless and cause palpitations. can i use flonase at least?

You can try Flonase, which is a steroid and it will help decrease inflammation. You can also get saline nasal spray which can help thin the mucous and help ease your nasal congestion. Hope you feel better real soon. Good luck!
