Hi thanks for contacting HCM..

Here this feeling like obstruction can be from excess mucus production by viral cattarhal inflammation of respi tract ....We can say as post nasal drip.....

Symptomatic management done ...

Three times steam inhalation done. ....

Take benadryl like decongestent drug ...

More water ....

Avoid excess spicy foods and smoking . ..

For three days take oxymetazoline 0.05% nasal spray ...

If still no improvement than chest x ray done to rule out bronchitis or other respi infection ...

Take care ....
