my nose has been stuffed up for 2 days now and it's driving me nuts. I have to keep blowing my nose all the time. I have tried some sinus pills but it's still been the same..

also I get those bad sinus head aches all I do for those is take 2 advils and in 15 min the head ache is gone. I have also been putting that vicks vapor rub above my mouth, seems to work for a split min.

I've got the same problem going on now..Vicks Vapor Rub works really well..just put a little on your finger and rub it above your lip under you nose, and before you go to bed rub some on your chest.It'll clear up in no time!

Get a nice, hot cup of thai tea. Sit in a warm room, with your favortie movie and a box of tissues. Your nose might run like crazy, but it almost always works for me!
Also, it depends on why your nose is stuffed up, you could have what my mom calls a nose cold. It's a cold that only affects your nose, I guess. She used to give me over the counter anti-histamine allergy meds.
Hope you feel better!

Because you have the headaches, it sounds like a sinus infecton. You need to see a doctor right away who can prescribe the best antibiotic and antihistamine for the problem. Worse, the infection could have spread to the inner ear or the throat.
GO SEE A DOCTOR and don't take the advise of people like myself who are not doctors. GOOOOO!

I always buy saltwater spray, it helps most of the time. But sometimes you really need an antibiotic, especially if the stuff in your nose is getting green. (i'm serious!)

usually hot steam works well, but for longer reliever, try afrin, it's magic in the bottle

try the old-fashioned way, drink warm milk or some hot tea.

tissues?
Pseudafedrine, phenylpropanolamine, or any decongestant.
Theraflu
See an allergist and get prescribed a nasal spray and help for your sinuses!!
