Blocked sinuses

2022-07-06 02:30:02
What is the best way to clear mucus from blocked sinuses? I have a deviated septum and I am already doing steam inhalation, using nasal spray, drinking warm water and kadha, as well as doing pranayam. But the cold is still there and taking a while to clear (more than a week). I don't have a continuous cough, headache or throat infection. I had fever in the beginning for 3-4 days but it subsided with paracetamol. No bodyache, muscle pain or fatigue. I had a runny nose for 1-2 days but then my sinuses got blocked and since then it is taking a long time to clear. Please advise.
