You can try inhaling steam twice a day, apply hot compress over face, sipping warm beverages, Sleep with your head elevated to prevent mucus buildup. Avoid irritants ? quit smoking and avoid smoke, stay indoors during high allergen times, ensure your home and workplace are kept tidy, and wear a mask if you need to clean. Drink herbal tea, not only can it help break up mucus, but you can inhale the steam, too. Use over-the-counter medications like antihistamines, decongestants, medicated nasal sprays, and saline nasal sprays to treat the same.
