Avoid exceeding the recommended daily dose as ingestion of higher than the recommended dose increases the risk for somnolence.
5mg once day at bedtime is the usually recommended dose for adults.
For nose block you have to take nasal sprays (not otrivin)
Next Steps
For diagnosis sinusitis you need to do NCCT nose and PNS
