Hi,
Thank you for reaching out at Ask A Doctor
I would recommend steam inhalation twice a day to help with the nasal congestion and you can use saline nasal drops such as nasoclear nasal drops as needed for the nasal block. I would recommend use of antihistamines at night time for 3 days for symptomatic relief such as cetrizine 5mg.
