how to get rid of a stuffy nose?!?

I have a really bad stuffy nose but medicine and vicks vapor rub doest work. Also my mom wont let me do saline drops. What should i do???

If you're trying to save money, heat up some water and hold it under your nose. If that seems odd, how about soaking a towel in hot water and placing it over your face. Lie on your back and the mucus will drain into your mouth (kind of graphic, but it's our body). Drinking warm liquids can help escalate your body temperature and in turn might assist in drainage, as well.

Otherwise, there are vaporizing creams that one can purchase for not much at all. Vick's brand pretty much runs the market, but you can get a private brand for less. Other wise, the effervescence of throat lozenges could help as well.

Stay hydrated! 'Tis the season of stuffy noses.

You can use Flonaise to treat each individual case. I have chronic rhinitis (my nose is constantly running) and my doctor told me to a Claritin D everyday, as it is a decongestant that comes in 12 hour and 24 hour varieties. So you can use this if you have a chronically stuffy nose. If you have a sinus headache associated with the runny nose then use Advil Cold & Sinus, as this will take away the headache as well as the stuffy nose.

I have a great deal of experience dealing with sinus problems.

take a warm damp rag and put it over your sinus passages (nose and top to cheek bones and bottom of forehead are the most common "stuffed up places). This will make your nose run, so you might want some tissues around. Just blow it out once it feels like its ready. Just remember to keep the rag warm. This also helps for sinus migranes.

stay at home mom.

Try over the counter Mucinex. Also try to sneak some Afrin nasal spray - great stuff, also over the counter. Also a cool mist humidifier should help you out as well. Sinus problems are the worse, I know!

Try squirting salt water up your nose. Get some salt water and put your head in the sink with your nostrils tipped up and poor a little in each nostril. The salt helps dry up all that mucus.

blow it all out... and i found that if only 1 nostril is stuffed, lay down on the other side it feels better, and vice versa each time.

Take a steamy shower it opens up your nasil passages!

This happens to me all the time and my uncle is a doctor!

Take whole lemons, and cut them up, and boil them. Add brown sugar and make a tea. drink it as hot as how can stand it.

Hot wings, or eat a pepper, sometimes just drinking a little bit of hotsauce works too...
Hope this helps!

Try Mucinex, that stuff really works great. Makes you thirsty though... but it really works!!

air vaporator and nasle stripis.
