Hi,
Thanks for writing in
Decadron will not help the sleeplessness. I think simple steam inhalation and Tablet Fexofenadine 180 mg once a day ( its available OTC) can help you a lot. Also, try and get some ginger tea. If Fexofenadine is not available, please take Tablet Cetrizine 10 mg once daily.
The steam inhalation will help you take care of the secretions and the rest of it can be managed by the medication
Regards
