Micah has a viral upper respiratory infection. He cannot breathe well and his head feels stuffy. Which medication would help his cold?

Pseudoephedrine is a decongestant that can relieve nasal and sinus stuffiness from a cold. Antibiotics treat bacterial infections, not viral infections, and albuterol and montelukast are used mainly for asthma or other breathing conditions rather than ordinary cold congestion.
