Suggest A Decongestant For Stuffed Ears And Slight Cough

I have stuffed ears and head, slight cough now and then. Can you recommend a decongestant such as Sudafed etc. I have liver cirrhosis. Should I just avoid medication altogether because of this or? Maybe, take half of one???? I have no other symptoms such as headache etc....

Hi
Welcome to Health care magic.

I went through the history you have provided here. It seems from the history that you are having stuffed ears with cough. This is usually because of blockage of the eustachian tube as a result of congestion of the nose. The treatment is mainly by the use of decongestants. You can use decongestant nasal drops containing decongestants like phenyl ephrine.
Do consult your doctor for examination to confirm the diagnosis and prescription of drugs.

Hope this is helpful to you.
