My nose is stuffed Helpppp?
-
So for the past week my nose has been terribly stuffed. I've tried NetiPot(failed), nose spray(semi-effective), Vicks(not really), and sinus decongestants(no help). Tonight, I used the nose spray, and my nose is so clogged, I literally CANNOT breathe out my nose. I noticed that walking around and outside air helped. Idk whats going on, but I hate feeling like I'm suffocating. Please help! I need sleep!

Answer:
I hate to say it, but if things are better outside, you may have mold and/or mildew inside the walls. Sorry, but not a cheap fix.

Keep using the netipot at least twice a day and add a "sinus buster" available at health food stores to the water before you use it. While it may not seem like it's helping, it is--provide you use it consistently. If it's a saline nose spray, you may be drying your nasal passages out if you're continuing to use the netipot, or you're using the spray for longer than the directions say. You can also try running the shower for a long time at a high heat and sitting on the toilet, breathing deeply. Make sure to keep sucking liquids like water or hot tea so that you don't get dehydrated. Avoid things like flying or diving, since the changing pressures can make you feel more awful and make the symptoms seem worse. If none of that works, it's always best to consult your doctor for the next steps. Since fresh air seems to help, she may tell you to get more of it or to leave the windows open. She will also be able to get you on a drug regimen that will most likely contain an antibiotic (initital if she thinks it's sinusitis or rhinosinusitis) and a dual fexofenadine/psuedoephedrine attack, such as Allegra and Mucinex-D. She may also be able to hook you up with a prescription spray such as Patanase or Flonase if symptoms persist. Since fresh air helps, you'll also want to look into your environmental factors. An allergist can help you, but it would be worthwhile to have a professional check your home out for mold or mildew. If nothing turns up, at least you've given yourself peace of mind that it's not your home that's making you sick. But if something does turn up, wouldn't you be more comfortable knowing that you're not continuing to sleep in a place that's making you sick?

well take a hot shower with steam or use a pot of hot water, steam should help with it, or cold air or air outside will help also

The most visible thing about sinus is swelling. The easiest way to control swelling is to give up water and all other liquids for 24 hours. In 24 hours there will be no significant dehydration to cause organ failure. But to be double sure one can stay indoors for 24 hours. Now if you decided to try it the next problem is that one who is used to drinking water or other liquids feel thirsty quite often. They find it very difficult to manage without water for more than 6 hours. For that follow the following routine. First thing in the morning drink tea (on empty stomach). It should be normal tea not too strong nor too light. One should not take anything with tea. No water or anything before or after tea for atleast 1 hour. Tea on empty stomach leaves a bitter taste in mouth. Resist drinking water or any other liquid for next 3-4 hours. After this the bitter taste will be gone. AFter this there will be no thirst signals. For the next 48 hours there will be enough fluid in your mouth and food pipe. You can eat your normal meals minus any liquids for next 24 hours. This will resolve all health issues including poor digestion. In 24 hours the reduction in the fluids will be about 3 litres or about 5% of the total body weight of a normal adult. Never the swelling due to sinus or cold and cough is more than 5% of the body volume. During this period of 24 hours the lose of water from the body does not reduce even by 1% to offset reduced water intake. The reduction in loss of body water thru urine or sweating starts after 48 hours in most of people. But to be on safe side giving up water and liquids for 24 hours will do the trick. The reduced swelling will give immediate relief from pain. It will make is much more easier to eliminate the cough thru nose without any pain. That will also improve the blood acid levels by about 5%. This makes changes at the cell level as well. Blood acid levels are the first line of defense against the infections. So swelling gone, pain gone, cough moving out, infections taken care of. Now what remains in the body for the next change of season time. Obviously nothing. So it has already given u long term relief from sinus. You may refer to Kole on yahoo answers. He posted that he got lot of relief. You may check his comment on my best answers of 14.8.2011
