General & Family Physician, Dr. Nishad BN's Response
Thank you for asking HCM. I have gone through your query. If you have sinus congestion you can use nasal decongestant sprays like xylometazoline ( otrivin ). This should be used more than 10 days continuously. You can also take chewable vitamin c 100 mg daily. If there is no improvement then consult an ENT specialist to rule out any complications and to manage it.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear. Thanks.
