I've been having a stuffy nose for almost a week now. In the morning, it's always there and goes away by the end of the day. But, when I wake up in the morning, I always have a stuffy nose again and It's the same thing over and over for almost 9 days. Its so annoying. Advice anyone?

Try a saline nasal RINSE (not a spray) A full warm water saline rinse goes in one nostril and out the other. It draws out all the gunk and shrinks the tissue (like swimming in the ocean). I've been doing it at work too. I use the water right out of the warm tap, add some salt from a packet in my pocket.
Buffered salt doesn't 'sting' as much as plain salt water. You can use a new method like Nasopure, or the vintage, Netipot
You can do this as often as you like with no side effects.
You don’t need a prescription for this therapy. So if you live in a state like mine, they’ve pretty much “outlawed” sudafed medicine. Drug-free is really the way to go on a frequent-use basis. (I put in a link for “what” and “how” – there’s also some good info on wiki)

You need a good nose spray such as Afrin or Nasalcrom. If those don't work for you, you may want to try Rhinocort or Nasonex. Hope this helps.

You may be sick with a cold. Just do what you would do for any regular cold - drink hot soup, hot tea, and spicy things like ginger can help to open up your nostrils.

You probably have allergies like me..
..and yea it is annoying...
I don't using the sprays because i think its hard spraying liquids up your nose so I use Vicks vapor inhaler and it helps me a lot:
