Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

You may find relief by taking the following medications: Antiallergic like Levocetrizine, Decongestant like phenylephrine(take only if not suffering from hypertension), Mucolytic like Ambroxol, Antacid like Rantac, Nasal decongestant spray like Oxymetazoline. Drink lots of warm fluids. Do steam inhalation. Avoid cold and sweet food as they increase mucus production.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
