Go for nasal decongestant

Detailed Answer:
Hi Sir,

I have gone through your query; and suggests you that you may be suffering from the acute rhinitis.

For this in our patient, I advise--->
1. Systemic and nasal decongestant such as combination of montelukast & fexofenadine once in the night and otrivin nasal drops two drops three times a day.
2. Steam inhalation three times a day for at least five minutes.
3. Hexidine mouth gargles two times a day.
4. Avoid cold water, ice creams, cold drinks and smoking, if you.

Thanks

Wish you good health
