Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns

I am sorry to hear that you are suffering with an upper respiratory infection. Despite it going on for 3 weeks this is not uncommon. You could have in addition to an infection you could have allergies. To help with your symptoms I would recommend using Afrin nose spray once daily for 3 days. This will open your nasal passages and help you overcome the nasal congestion. If this does not help then try an oral decongestant. You just need to give it more time.

I hope I answered your question. Please contact us again if you have any additional questions
