Answer 3

Always take your allergy medication at least two hours before retiring. Go take a long hot steamy shower breathing in the hot steam. Blow your noise gently. Do not close one nostril when blowing your noise. Make a saline solution with luke warm salt water and sniff the solution from the palm of your hand, one nostril at a time. the salt water should go though your noise and come out your mouth. Blow your noise gently afterward. Repeat the salt water wash 2 to 4 times a day. Drink extra fluids to thin mucus. Increase the humidity in your home, especially the bedroom. Avoid cold dry air. You have Sinusitis which often follows a cold and is associated with allergies ,and a abscessed tooth. Go to wwwwebmd.com for further information.

Good luck!
