Help uncloggng nose - nothings working
    #21744444 - 05/31/15 11:12 AM (8 years, 7 months ago)

My nose is so plugged, decongestant wont even go up there.
netipot, liquid just sits in my nose like a cup going nowhere.
boiled water, put a towel over my head, even tried putting tea in the water.
Vicks isnt helping.

What the hell else can i do?

Smoking would help me sometimes. Only because of the coughing. :shrug:

I would just keep snorting a bunch of salt water until your sinuses get clear enough and the gunk inside them gets soft enough to flush stuff out. That or try one of those snakes they use to unclog toilets.

but how do you snort water when it's 100% clogged?
how can you snort anything when theres no movement?

do i just chill with my head upside down with the salt water cupped in my nose, til it breaks through?  and i only have table salt

Damn. That's a seriously clogged nose. I'd say pick and blow out as much as you can, and then try to get some salt water in there for a while. Table salt will work fine. You can look up some recipes online, but it's basically just a mix that's about as salty as ocean water.

On second thought, the first thing I would try is taking a hot shower for like an hour. Try blowing stuff out of your nose the whole time you're in there. The steam should help a bit. When you get some airflow, go with the netipot or saltwater snorting.

seriously dude, fuck the bullshit.

go to CVS, get Afrin nasal spray. start with one squirt in each nostril and wait 5 minutes.

dont do it more than 3 days in a row. it works great in conjunction with mucinex, keep taking the mucinex after the 3rd day and it should clear up nice.

but really, afrin is a miracle drug.

You might try eating some spicy food to break the clog. I use a "neil med" bottle, instead of a netipot and it works better IMO.

I am going through the same problem right now btw - I find claritin helps open up my nose a bit, sometimes.

I'm sure I went overkill but I got some
Mucus&Phlegm Benylin and
Non drowsy antihistimine+decongestant pill and
Otrivin Sea Water+Aloe saline spray

the Otrivin spray has quite a kick, a good heavy stream but still wouldn't get up in my nose cuz it's too clogged.

clearly im desperate, wish me luck

Plug nose with fingers. Take a deep breath and close your mouth. Start shaking your head vigorously up and down as if you are nodding hard until you need to take another breath with mouth. In your case it may take 2 or three times of this taking breaths in between to get you to be able to clear it out. In essence the movement widens the nasal passages... but there is a lot more to it.
Try it out - it works for asthmatics etc.

Bring the spray in the shower with you. You might as well go for it. Or maybe try heating up the saline spray a bit to get it warm. Wet hot stuff should soften up what's in there a bit better and help it move.

EDIT: Aloe in nasal spray seems like complete craziness.

try hot flannel over the bridge of your nose with head tipped back.
snot should run down the back of your throat with a good snort, freeing some space to squeeze the otrivine into

Pain is temporary. It may last for a minute or an hour or a day or even a year but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it will last forever.

OK - I've been dying from allergies the past few days and made an emergency Dr's appointment from work today, because i couldn't stop sneezing.

He prescribed "nasonex" (now that i've seen the prescription, i've used it before...) - Anyways, it works great!

my first thought is drink plenty of water;


do some aikido or tai chi,


examine the foods you're eating, and readjust them occasionally by experiment and reflect, seeing what helps bring the most vitality, health and energy,


it may be a diet issue.


the peroxide post is a interesting and good point; though i wouldn't think of it here - that is an almost miracle for lotsa things. . in terms of washing wounds etc.; i also believe it's good even wonderful to get exposed to earth (dirt) and lots stuff to get your body in touch with it and used to it. . .

yet it's also good to clean up wounds nicely.

i'm serious, afrin is no joke. it clears your nose without getting you high.

i use 1 squirt in each nostril and my nose goes from 100% clogged to 100% clear in 5 minutes. it lasts 12 hours.'

AFRIN! its at every cvs and wallgreens and walmart and whatever anywhere. its no joke, its all you need (maybe some mucinex to help keep the shit moving inbetween doses)

i hope your nose is clear by now though.

I usually use sudafed, works fine for me.

You should see a doctor to identify the type of alergy u have

Most case would be dust, polen, dust mite or pollution

yeah if you get the old style pseudofed which contains pseudoephedrine it seems to work pretty good, but it sounds like you need a more long term solution.

Honestly nothing works for me like running every day, or vigorous cardio exercise.  It both clears up my sinuses and keeps me from getting allergies.
