Your best bet is to check with your doctor @A MyCOPDTeam Member.

When I'm having a flairup and it last for more than 19 days, I contact my pulmonary doctor for steroid prescription. That usually takes care of it after about 5 days.

If the inhaler heps, use it. If the congestion doesn't begin to go away on its own, see a doc.
