We always defer to your doctor but many doctors might recommmend
Tylenol, gargling with salt water, Afrin nasal spray, some
antihistamines and some decongestants. The speciics should be discussed
with your doctor. At some point you may need a sore throat.
Hope this helps and write back anytime for more information.
