    When I had COVID and got really severe congestion, it was some of the worst sinus pain I’ve ever had in my life. I was at the point where I was trying to use a baby nasal bulb to relieve some pressure. The phenylephrine helped me a lot more than any other medication I was trying, including nasal sprays. I also take other sinus medications though, so I wonder if it’s a case of a medication not working well unless it’s used in conjunction with other things?

    I guess it’s possible I experienced a placebo effect, but it seems weird it would do it when nothing else was.
