Use peppermint essential oil.
It is amazingly effective for stuffy nose.
Put few drops on tissue paper and breathe it, your nose will be cured soon.
You can get essential oil in healthy grocery stores like wild oats.It costs about $12 for a 10ml bottle, but it worth, try sample, and you need only few drops for once.
If you are also pregnant, choose eucalyptus or tea tree.
God bless you, I pray for your quick recovery and your sister's giving birth will be wonderful.

Get some Afrin...and keep using a saline spray for your nose. Drink alot, keep eating, take a decongestant, take vitamen C, get rest, and get a numbing spray for your throat or chew Asper-gum. Gargle with salt water at night.

Rest
Take plenty of water
You can try inhaling steam or find either nasal drops or pseudoephedrine to try and clear your nose
If you are not allergic:
Gargle aspirin to relieve the soreness of the throat
Take paracetamol (or acetaminophen)

This works for me every time I have a cold - grate some fresh ginger and lemon zest. Pour boiling water over it to make an infusion and drink as hot as you can. PS: It sounds like you have a cold so please don't bother your doctor with it.

Do you believe in the power of the mind ?
THINK yourself healthy, tell your pain and aches to go away. Tell you body it needs to be healthy , you need better things to do than be sick. Peace.
