How do i clear up nasal congestion?

...

pseudoephedrine* if youre not you have to take someone who is over 18 and you can blame that to all the meth heads. Phenylephrine works too but not for so long.

sudafed or if you want to go a natural route. normal saline solution, steamy showers.


been there done that
warm water, a little baking soda and a little salt -- sniff it up your nose holding one nostril shut at a time. SOunds awaful but feels great.

Saline nasal sprays.........they really work to dislodge the built up mucus in all the nasal cavities.

There are some good answers already NyQuil works well, and steam is very good, no side effects. Zicam has all kinds of products including one for congestion and cough You will find it at CVS or Walmart . If all goes well it will be gone in a few days take care. and get well

try snorting some grape kool aid that always does it for me


d.a.f.f.y.
Buy a saline spray, such as Ocean, and irrigate your sinuses. After you irrigate, let is stay in for a few minutes then blow it all out! Repeat several times a day.

if u believe in ayurveda than try "shadbindu oil" . three drop in nose both side,,afterthat u will feel very irritating in nasal,, and than u will sneez. but it will clear all area. twice a day.And neti is also useful but it required little practice.

try some chinese methods:

Ginger tea: Clean and shred fresh Ginger (15g). Make into tea with 200 ml boiling water. Add brown sugar (12g) to taste.

Prepare a big bowl of a hot Ephedra (6-9g) decoction for deep breathing in its steam until it turns cool.

Try using a Netti pot.( on you browser look up Netti pot on the Internet.) It clears your nasal passages and also helps prevent Cold And Flu germs from entering through your nose.
I have used this for over a year now and find that for me this helps alot. It's worth your time to check it out.
Hope this is helpful to you as well.

Onion is one of the best natural decongestants on the planet. Slice an Onion and put a few slices on a small plate or saucer and keep it near you. Breathe deep. Put the rest in a plastic bag. When the exposed slices aren't so strong anymore, get fresh ones from the bag and replace them. Sure, it stinks -- and so will you after a little while, but you can always go take a nice hot bath or shower. It also works extremely well, and is great for tiny newborn babies who are too young for OTC drugs and for people who are on other meds and can't take commercial decongestants.
