Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXX,

I suggest you cetrizine 5 mg once a day before bed for 5 days.

Nasoclear nasal saline drops, instill 2 drops in each nostril as many as times per day.
Steam inhalation twice a day.
Do not exposure to cold weather and dust.
Do not eat cold food and drink beverages.

If you will not feel better after 5 days then I suggest you visit An ENT doctor for clinical examination and to rule out possibility like allergic rhinitis.

If you have any queries I will be happy to help you.
Thank you.

Hello XXXX,

It will not obstruct. It may cause very mild sedation.

If you feel dizziness in morning times then I suggest you drink plenty of water.
