Brief Answer:
Antihistamines and steam inhalation will help
Detailed Answer:
Hi there XXXXXXX Thanks for coming to HealthCareMagic.
Sounds like you have a head cold. Most of these time these are viral infections and the immune system is the best to clear them out. So for the time being we will try and treat this by treating the symptoms.
Over the counter antihistamines like Sinarest are a good start for this. You can take 1 tablet 3 times a day. You will feel quite sleepy after taking them, so be careful.
Steam inhalation is a great way to help clear up your airway. No side effects from medications this way and it is very comforting.
