Lay down on your bed. Put your head down on one side until one nostril opens (It shouldn't take longer than a few minutes.) Then put your head down on the other side, and the other nostril should open. That should work. If it doesn't, get someone to go get you a decongestant at a 24-hour drug store, or 7-11. Good luck, hon. :)

Now that the swelling has gone down i would recommend going back to hospital and having another X-ray, as you may have a broken nose and if you have it will show up now. Remember though it may look like the swelling has gone down on the outside of your nose but it might not have on the inside, that maybe why you can't breathe still. Try sticking your head over a bowl of boiling water with a towel over your head, it may help you breath a bit better, or put a warm towel on the bridge of your nose. Good Luck.

You should go to your favorite drug store and get a bottle of "smelling salts." This will help you temporarily. I personally have a pot on my stove that I use frequently with "hot steaming water" in it. I stand over it with a heavy zippered robe around me. Then I breathe in the steamy hot water and my breathing is excellent. When I am in the streets or have light problems, I use my albuterol spray inhaler. This works well with me. Remember this, What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? - Romans 8:31. Peace, Love and God Bless.

You should have a doctor prescribe a nasal spray. That and keep blowing your nose out, don't snuff it in.

Crush a clove of garlic. Eat it and follow it with a teaspoon of honey. Garlic is very hot and it will open your head.
