Steam inhalation surely helps and so does the warm gargle.These are symptoms of sinusitis.and yes antiallergic nasal sprays help in decongestion of sinuses and a painkiller like PCM 500mg will surely help him sleep better and relieve headache.

Kindly take a consultation for detailed evaluation and management of covid19 illness.

ask him to sleep in prone position not more than 30 mins 3- 4 times monitor his oxygen saturation level daily persistent fall below 94 is an alarming Sign for need of oxygen.
