If nasal congestion due to a cold is caused by bacterial infection, antibiotics such as amoxicillin or cephalexin may be used under medical guidance. If it is caused by a virus, medications such as compound paracetamol and amantadine hydrochloride or paracetamol-phenylephrine may be taken as directed by a physician. Additionally, oxymetazoline hydrochloride nasal spray or nasal irrigation with a nasal washer may be used according to medical advice to relieve nasal congestion.
