Question: How to get rid of minor congestion?

I've been congested in my since the beginning of the year and it's getting ridiculous. I can't get rid of the "leftover" stuff in my nose. Blowing all of it out will irritate my nose and I'm sick of taking so many allergy pills. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I have church choir coming up and I can't sing when I'm congested (literally, I have to swallow every 3 words and I sound stuffed up and nasty). Thanks everyone :].

Answers:

ICK! I sympathize with you, I too suffer from allergies and am also a singer. It is a bit strange that your congestion has lasted so long, have you considered seeing a doctor? You could look into allergy shots they are much stronger, work faster and last longer however can be pricey. In the mean time your congestion could be due to inflammation of your nasal passages which can be solved with a few Advil. Any phlegm in your throat could be be eased by gargling with salt water or by drinking herbal tea with cinnamon and honey (the cinnamon strips the phlegm and the honey soothes). Good luck!
