Thank you for choosing HCM

I think that you have a sinus infection which is caused by any bacteria or a virus. Here are a few things that you can do to help you:
Inhale steam mixed with eucalyptus oil to clear the nasal passages
Drink lots of water
Take tablet Cetirizine 10 mg once a night to help you

Follow up after 5 days.
Hope this helps you
