1. The absolute FASTEST, yet temporary solution? Get a decongestant moisturizing nasal spray. (It removes swelling of your nasal tissue)
Use it ONCE. Using it more than that will cause a reverse reaction, so get the smallest bottle you can. You can use it maybe once every couple weeks with little side effects.
2. Drink a ton of water, then take mucinex (guaifenesin) as directed. This will take a couple days to start working.
3. Get a big bottle of saline nasal spray and use it every hour or so, even when you don't have a stuffy nose.
4. Buy a steam humidifier. Put a pinch of salt in the water. Put the machine about 4 feet from your bed, and keep it on all day.
5. If you have allergies, take claritin every night.
6. Wash your pillow and pillowcase in HOT HOT water.
If your pillow is more than 5 years old, throw it away and buy a NEW one. (Once a pillow is 10 years old, half the weight of it is dust mites and dust mite feces. Nasty. That is a huge cause of allergies).

Dear Stuffy Stuffy,
There are a lot of things that can help. You can take a decongestant, Benadryl helps too (makes you sleepy though),Vicks vapor rub on your nose, A short wiff of amonnia (ouch), Boil water and cover your head with a towel, take a steamy shower, use a little nasal spray (but it can mess up your nasal cavity after awhile) and finally you can try sinus allergy medicine but it pretty much the same as the decogestant (tylenol allergy sinus or cold works best).

Well i always like to be as natural as possible. The most natural way to do it would be to get a big pot of boiling water, cover your head with a towel and lean over it and BREATHE!! I've tried nose sprays those gave me nose bleeds, medications either makes me sleepy or sick...or not able to stomach. I went to GNC vitamin store and asked, and voila! Allergy MD, worked for me in a day, all natural, american made with american grown herbs, and nothing you cant pronounce. It was 13.99 but damn well worth it!
