How To Cure Congestion Due To Upper Respiratory Infection?
I am concerned about the congestion I am experiencing because I was diagnosed with an upper respiratory infection a week ago. Was told that it was not serious and was given Lidocaine for my soar throat. Today I am not feeling good. I still have congestion and feel very weak and tired.

Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern looking to the given history here if this is congestion then this need to be manage with general measurement first like drinking more water, steam inhalation, have a hot drinks, if the symptoms does not improved then decongestant can be taken and the best is pseudo ephedrine, take care and have a nice day.
