Hello & welcome to HealthcareMagic forum.
If I were your treating Doctor for this case , I would advice you
continue sudaphed ,
Decongestant nasal drops 3 drop thrice daily &
Steam Inhalation twice daily .
Certainly above treatment will give you much relief but if relief is not upto satisfaction level then consultation with your ENT doctor will become essential.
Hope this helps , Thanks.
