Suggest Remedies For Nasal Congestion And Head Pressure
Right now I am experiencing slight cough with mucus, pressure at the front and back of my head, nasal congestion (moderate). Within the last week I have tried taking Claritin, Nasacort, Wal-Mart brand sinus med and nothing seems to work. What can I do to relieve nasal congestion and head pressure?

Persistent nasal congestion indicates increased mucous production. Common causes may be allergy, sinus infection, nasal polyp, rhinitis and deviated nasal septum.
