I use humidifier and drink plenty of fluids. I try not to take too much medications. Just try to relieve symptoms naturally.

When I have nasal congestion, my congestion interrupts with my sound of my voice, really irritating to me.

I must blow my nose 10 times in the morning.  I hate nasal congestion,,  I end up with headaches.  I've tried  humidifiers and I do drink plenty of water,,  it is the only thing I drink all day.  Orange juice sometimes,,  I don't like taking meds it makes me feel worse.  sometimes I will put a very hot wash cloth  on my head and it works to releave the pressure.

I was given congestion from relatives for Christmas...   I feel fine, but have a terrible cough.

For me, I love Vicks Vaporub.   I can open the jar and just smell it and it helps.

Sorry Gerianne, not for me! Nothing works as I am still suffering but getting better. Your body heals itself and no medication can really fight against a cold or virus. It's a temporary fix, so heal your body on your own by feeding it good wholesome food! :D

I use sinus rinse for that. It helps me a lot when it comes to having congestion. I would try that out. :thumbsup:

I really hate that feeling so I just get in the shower and take a hot bath.

Nothing seems to work this year had a cold and cough since Thanksgiving.  The doctor even gave me a antibiotic and that helped but now the cold is back.  Just can't seem to shake this one

I have allergies stuffed nose most of the time. tried all meds decongestants work sometime and flonaise,nasal crom, afrin work ok but not all the time.even used prednisone that works but keeps you awake. Don't get me started on this I can go for days. have become a mouth breather especially at night can sleep ok breathing threw my mouth prefer  the nose but cant always do it.
