Suggest Treatment For Breathing Difficulty Due To Sinus Pressure And Runny Nose

5 days ago, I had mild symptoms of a head cold --running nose, sneezing, sinus pressure and mild headache but no fever. I have been to the E.R. and back twice since then because I am having difficulty breathing due to a huge amount of snot/mucus. I am a 54 year old female, and I smoke.

Hello
This type of condition may be due to allergic asthmatic bronchitis and smoking is one of the most serious predisposing factor of of asthma because smoke directly enter into lungs . Smoking causes bronchoconstriction and this produces mucus , running of nose, sinus pressure , headache .
First of all take some steroid inhaler once breathlessness under control then take montelukast+bambuterol tablet once or twice in day according to severity of symptoms .
However hot coffee and steam inhalation also act as bronchodilator .
Hope this will help you.
