I have had nasal congestion since Christmas. every day & every night. Its so ANNOYING! Constantly running. I cant smell things half the time. I have taken DayQuil and all other cold meds. Not coughing or sneezing. Dont have health insurance because of the cost. I know I should probably go to the doctors so please refrain from suggesting it. No headache, pressure but no pain. Pressure in ears too. Should I purchase AMOXICILLIN online? If so, how much should I take?

It's not a good idea to take antibiotics if you're not sure they're necessary, and you could end up having a life-threatening reaction to what you take.
It seems that if this was a sinus infection that you would be experiencing pain---they usually go together. You say you have pressure in your head and your ears. When I called my doctor with those symptoms, he suggested that I first try taking Sudafed before we tried stronger measures, and it took care of it. Give it a try and see if it helps before you try on-line antibiotics. You don't even have to get the name-brand. The various generic store-brands are just fine. Just look for active ingredients of phenylephrine hydrochloride. You usually take 10mg. every 4 hours.
Hope that this helps.

Use a natural remedy 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.
The buffered salt doesn't 'sting' as much as plain salt water. You can use a new method like Nasopure, or the vintage, Netipot. The special bottle and salt is about $20.
You can do this a often as you like with no bad 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 could have allergies. Try using Dimetapp. Amoxicillin online? never unless you have a prescription and you are sure that the pharmacy is reputable.
