I have asthma and high bp so can't take a lot of stuff, but what works well for me is Hyland's cough syrup with honey. Yeah, I know it is supposed to be 'cough syrup,' but it doesn't do much [for me] for actual cough, but it is GREAT at getting rid of other symptoms. It is homeopathic but you can get it on Amazon. You have to buy it in 3-packs, if my memory serves me correctly, but that is BY FAR the cheapest way to buy it.

I do not suggest using an over the counter nasal decongestant. If I were you I would try a decongestant like sudafed. If you must use a nasal spray try Afrin with moisture. No more than three days though. Nasal decongestant can make congestion worse by excessive use.

I use simple normal saline. All of the otc nasal sprays are intended only for short term use, like one or two days, if you use them for longer than three days max, you get a rebound effect and the congestion is worse than when you started.

Warm showers, claritin D, and emergen-C
or my exes mom had asthema and she told me to boil hot water on the stove with a bit of pepermint oil in it and stand over the pot with a towel and breath in the steam and it loosens up all sorts of congestion

You should inhale steam of thyme or eucalyptus( if not allergic to them). Phenylephrine in form of nasal drops is a good med for your.
