I recommend trying steam to open up your nose glands. We’re having more blood flow so nose congestion is common and uncomfortable. My doctors recommended hot towel to help calm down the swollen glands! I hope this helps!

Use unmedicated saline spray to decongest. Avoid the meds at all cost

Allergies and congestion are my struggle! Zyrtec or Claritin and Benadryl are ok. Saline Nasal sprays or even like Flonase are fine. I also used a Vicks vapor steam treatment that helped and a ton of Vicks and tiger balm for headaches. Good luck!
