Try going into the bathroom, turning on the shower with straight hot water, close the door up tight and sit next to the tub. The steam can help clear you up for a while.

Make a solution of salt and warm water; try snorting it up your nose and later gargling some warm salt water. Also, try boiling some water with Vick's salve in it and put a towel over your head once it begins to stream over your head over the stream mixture to breath it in. Put a little Vick's on your nose, too. Buy a humidifier and run it in the winter in your bedroom while you sleep. It puts moisture into the air and helps you be able to breathe. The air gets too dry in the winter and the humidifier solves the dry air problem. Good luck and best wishes! I am compassionate because I have allergies too.

Ther are several proprietry lines of nose drops that will help you. Howver overuse, will cause rebound reaction and your nose will block up again .If you have earache it is meaning that you have an infection of the middle ear caused by sinustitis as well as the cold in the nose. Both are associated.
I suggest in the interim the use of nose drops ( don't use pepper!) and cosnult with you GP regarding the ear infection. You need a course of antibiotics as well as decongestants and nasal sparay.

Relax - Eucalyptus Spearmint --- Go to your local Bath and Body works and asks for picture and link provided it helps! Picture is on the last row very far left the little bottle with the black lid.
Or drink some peppermint tea!! Any kind will work drink it hot though.... Good luck!!
