Hello
It seems from the history that you are having pressure in the head, dry nose following ingestion of sudafed.
Stuffy and dry nose is because of sudafed. Sudafed is a vasoconstrictor and dry nose is because of this effect of the drug.
Along with sudafed need to take antiinflammatory, mucolytics and antibiotics for control of infection.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for prescription of drugs.

Thank you
