    Hello people. My nose is a bit stuffy and when I get sick (or when I have sinuses) it will last for 2 or more weeks. If any of you have any helpful hints let me know. I already know most of the basic ones but if any of you know any kind of weird remedies besides chicken noodle soup and cold pills let me know!

    Massaging your sinusis help. Like pressing your thumbs firmly on both sides of your nose, holding for 15 to 30 seconds and repeating it a couple times. It works because it brings a fresh supply of blood to the area.

    Medicated Vapor Rubs also work but you have to use them on and around your nose and sinus areas before bed and don't use them inside your nose.

    I know all that because I looked it up =)

    Yeah I use that vapor stuff. I never put it by my nose though. Before I take a shower I put it on my neck and chest. The fumes still get up there. I just can't stand the feeling of it on my sore red nose. I could always put it on my nose before I take a shower too. I do that sometimes to sooth my skin. I just won't let it sit there for a bit. I mean what if my nose starts to run? Then I'd wipe it off and it'd be a gross mess. :p

    It gets very red and raw quickly because of my OCD making me need to continuiously need to use tissues and blow my nose. Yeah Kip giggles at me too. :) He thinks it's cute.
