Answer 1

steam bowls put some boiling water in a metal bowl and get a tea towel and put it over your head lean over the bowl as the steam comes up off the water it will help. Dont spend a long time in the shower it wastes too much water. This could be a better solution.

Answer 2

try VICKS under your nose or get an humidifier

Answer 3

eat something really hottt!!!!!! or my mom always told me to wash my nose every morning if i have a stuffy nose. Do it in the morning right after you wake up

Answer 4

Spicy food.

Lots of spicy food.

Answer 5

Pick up some Mucinex at your local drug store. Spend 20 minutes in a steamy hot shower. It'll help work all that congestion loose.

Answer 6

Drink lots and lots of water (along with the spicy food!) But, you could try saline nose spray two squirts up each nostril.  SInce it's only salt water you can use it pretty often  (every hour or so)... then either blow your nose or use an aspirator to get it out.  You sound like you might have a sinus infection though... try visiting your doc to make sure!  Feel better.

Having a Neti Pot has done WONDERS for my allergies and sinus infections! You can read all about them here - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neti_pot

Using a Neti Pot honestly prevents infection and helps out more than anything I've ever used during a stuffy nose.

Answer 8

This usually works for my family... A somewhat quick way to get better... Take a shot of hard liquor, take a nap, when you wake up you might feel a little odd... but after you go to sleep and wake up again you should feel 100% better.
