Suggest Treatment For Nasal Congestion With Sinus Pressure

I have nasal congestion and frontal sinus pressure. Symptoms began last night. It's so congested it feels like someone poured concrete in my nose and it set up. My nose runs sometimes and when I blow, hardly anything comes out. I've taken Advil cold and sinus and Dayquil. Neither has done anything for me.

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that you are suffering from severe Sinusitis and the medicines that you are taking that is Advil cold and sinus containing active ingredients as Ibuprofen that is pain and inflammation reducing medicine and also contains Decongestant Pseudoephadrine while Dayquil contains Acetaminophen that is fever reducer and mild pain reliever and also contains Phenylephrine that is decongestant and cough suppressant Dextromethorphan..
These Medication will provide you symptomatic relief and in case if you want complete resolution you need to consult an Otolaryngologist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical examination and investigations like PNS VIEW x ray or MRI SCAN çan help in diagnosis and treatment can be done accordingly..
You can be advised a course of antibiotics along with decongestant Oral as well as Nasal Spray containing Xylometazoline along with Ibuprofen and anti allergics like Levocetrizine..
You should also do saline nasal irrigation, steam inhalation and use a humidifier in your room..
