Hi there I understand your concern...do warm saline gargling twice a day with OTC medication...Drink plenty of fluids, such as water or juice. This will help dilute mucous secretions and promote drainage. Avoid beverages that contain caffeine or alcohol, as they can be dehydrating. Drinking alcohol can also worsen the swelling of the lining of the sinuses and nose...Consult general physician for clinical examination they will do the needful.
