What Are Decongestants?

Article Translations: (Spanish)

Decongestants

Say: dee-kun-JES-tents

Decongestants are medicines that keep your nose from being stuffy. When you have a cold, your nose gets a little swollen inside and can fill up with mucus (snot). Decongestants stop your nose from becoming swollen so it doesn't feel as plugged up.
