Hello XXXXXX
Thanks for writing in.
Clogged nose, mucus etc could be due to allergies or like rhinitis ,sinusitis etc. I am assuming you don't have any fever /sore throat/cough at this stage.
In order to get rid of the mucus and the clogged sensation in the nose, I would suggest :
1.Drink plenty of warm fluids.
2.Do steam inhalation 3 -4 times a day.
You might require antibiotics, decongestants etc only if you have sinus headache, fever ,cough etc.
Nortriptyline is not responsible for the symptoms.
Hope I have answered your question. If you don't have any further questions,kindly accept my answer. Any reviews are welcome.
Have a nice day.
Regards,
Dr.Divya Kuttikrishnan
