I get great relief from stuffy nose from colds with the Breathe Right strips. I thought they were really stupid when I first saw them, but they do the trick.

I also like the Ricola lozenges for soothing the throat. Chicken noodle soup also helps soothe the throat (chicken fat) and clear the head (heat).

Hot tea with lemon and honey (soothes throat, clears phlegm, clears head). Lots of water, or Kool-Aid, or whatever you like to drink--so you keep the mucus thinned down and moving OUT vs. building up in your sinuses.

I only use Puffs--by far the gentlest out there.

Just sleep early, drink plenty of fluids, and hopefully you'll be fine.

if you have apple cider vinegar in the house take one table spoon with a glass of water. I know it sounds gross but within 5 minutes you will be able to breathe through your nose and sleep good.....works for allergies too!!
