Good morning, in the case of a positive test for covid and a completely stuffy nose and swollen mucous membranes and sometimes a very thick runny nose, can I take Sinupret? And how long should I take it? On the leaflet it is written that stopping the dosage results in the recurrence of runny nose, and there are as many as 100 tablets in the package. Should I take them all (3x a day for 2)?

Due to its secretolytic effect, it is recommended to increase the supply of fluids.

You can use Sinupret. As a standard, this drug is recommended to be taken from 7 to 14 days. Increasing the supply of fluids (a minimum of 2.5 l of fluids per day) supports the effects of the drug - it is worth remembering. In the event that mucosal edema hinders free breathing through the nose, you can additionally apply topically drops or a spray containing mucosal decongestants, examples of which you will find in the following link: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/substancje/xylometazoline These types of preparations can be used for a maximum of 7 days.
