I've tried steam, saline solution, hot compress, vicks, blah blah blah. Severe nasal congestion - scan showed no sinus problems. I keep congestion year round.
No allergies other than slight reaction to mold. I've tried different medicines the dr has given me, but I have a very active lifestyle and can't handle the side effects. Any other ideas?
I've had some success with Alka Seltzer Plus and the liquid gel caps that are for sinus problems. Of course, I don't have year 'round sinus problems like you do.
I've also tried the steam and all the other stuff you tried and they don't work for me. What does help me sleep at night is getting a dust mask (the kind you use when working in a dusty environment), put some Vicks on the inside, and wear it to bed. It helps you breathe better through the night, so you don't wake up with drool all over your pillow!
Also, some companies have come up with those steamless vaporizers that you put eucalyptus oil or Vicks in and it warms the product to the point where it leaves the odor in the air...quite effective if you don't need steam in your house. <*)))><
