Health questions:How can you get rid of a stuffy nose?

Use a saline nose spray! It sounds really gross but it works incredibly. I felt soooooooo much better after using it. My nose was clear and I got better much more quickly than normal. Now I always keep one in the house just in case.

People in India and other Asian countries have been using nasal flushes for forever to prevent the spread of illnesses. You can find it on the internet in its more traditional form called the "Neti Pot." Oprah had it on her show not too long ago. I prefer the more contemporary, quick, and just as effective nasal spray, which you can find at drugstores like Rite Aid and Walgreens. One brand is called "Simply Saline."

Using it is slightly uncomfortable at first, but you get used to it quickly - by like your second or third time using it. Trust me, if you follow the directions, you'll feel TONS better 5 minutes after using it.

Hope this helps! =]

Nasal congestion, stuffy nose, runny nose ¨C these are common problems experienced by everyone, usually many times a year. We generally disregard it, if it¡¯s on moderate levels but can get very annoyed when they are strong and require our attentions.

Yes, you could use a nasal spray to depress it for a while. But there are some problems with the sprays:

First, they are drugs (chemicals), might have side effects and are somewhat addictive.
Second, they cost money.
Third, you should have it with you whenever your nose drives you mad. This might not be the case every time, since you have to buy it first, and then carry it with you whenever you go (work, for example).

I guess the massage is based on Chinese acupressure but I can¡¯t be sure since at that time neither of us knew anything about it, and secondly, I¡¯m not an expert at this now. There are only 4 easy points to massage, so it¡¯s very easy to remember and always have it with you (in your head). Here how it goes:

Perform the below routine 3 times:
Perform 10 pressures on a cavity at the corner of the nostrils (point 1). You should almost close and open the nostrils when you do the round movement.
Perform 10 pressures on a cavity just below the corner of the eyes near the nose (point 2)
Perform 10 pressures on a cavity just below the ear, behind the earlobe (point 3)
Massage the earlobe 10 times (point 4)
After performing the above 3 times, you should feel immediate relief of your nasal congestion. It is advised to return on the above procedure again in about 10 minutes to make it more permanent or the congestion could return.

mucinex and sudafed are over the counter meds that can help.

mucinex should help get rid of the mucous. you'd only need sudafed if you're having trouble breathing through your nose (it dilates the nasal passages)

i don't know if you have a cold or allergy symptoms...if it a cold you can try sudafed but it can keep you up so avoid taking at night...or you can try an over the counter antihistamine like claritin...and if that doesn't help go to a doc

You could put your face over a bowel of steaming water and take deep breaths through your nose, and the steam will help with the congestion.

Also, an over the counter medication called Actifed works really well. It makes you drowsy so you should take it at night, and you'll Sleep like a baby and wake up being able to breathe!
