How Do I unstop My nose???

Question

Ok. I have a sinus infection and stuff, but I got some medicine from the doctor for it today. Anyway, my nose i completly stopped up though. I sound like some nasal freak. How do I unstop it for a while?

Answer 1

I had a similar problem and the medicine the doctor gave me worked for a while then stopped working, I got rebound which meant I was addicted to the medicine to clear my nose. Yuck.

Put your head over a very warm bowl of water with a towel over your head this will unblock the sinus so that it runs out, you may have to do this a couple times through the day, plus if the doctor gave you antibiotics take them.  Just try to get as much muck out as possible as this is the problem.

Answer 2

you put them in the hot shower with you and it'll help clear you out for a while. Afterwards, you can try putting vicks vaporub on your chest, I even swipe some under my nose and it helps me breathe better.

Answer 3

You only got on the medicine today.  Nothing is a quick fix.  You need to give the medication a couple of days to work and keep taking it until it's gone, not when you feel better.  You can get saline spray to help dry your nose.  benadryl will help too, but it often makes people sleepy, so dont' take it during the day.
