I never take decongestants. Instead, I take guaifenesin (plain Mucinex) which keeps things flowing. And drink plenty of fluids. I find this works better than decongestants which tend to have a rebound effect.

Having a stuffed up nose is very unpleasant. I hope you feel better soon.

I had Covid that went into pneumonia. During that ordeal I took 12 hr Mucinex at night, and Allegra D ( with sudaphed in it) during day. I used Nasacort nasal spray as well as pressurized saline spray. I hope you get some relief
