A congestant is a type of medication that helps to relieve nasal congestion, sinus pressure, and sinusitis. It works by thinning and loosening mucus, making it easier to expel, and reducing swelling in the nasal passages and sinuses. Congestants are often used to treat colds, flu, and allergies. Examples of congestants include pseudoephedrine and phenylephrine.
