Phenylephrine is useless. As an extra added bonus, it will still spike your blood pressure, so it isn't just useless, it's dangerous to people with high blood pressure.

Nasal irrigation is the way to go for sinus trouble. It's more work and takes a little getting used to, but no ID needed to buy saline and baking soda packets, and it actually works.

ORAL phenylephrine is useless, Nasal is not.
