Suggest Medication For Sinus Headache And Thick Mucus In The Nasal Cavity

Started with a sinus headache which evolved into thick mucus in nose and down the throat. It is very difficult for me to blow my nose to clear it because it is so thick and having some difficulty breathing because the mucus in so heavy down my throat. Is there an over the counter med I can take? I am a 70 year old female. Thank you Kathy
