Question: How long does nasal congestion due to a cold usually last?
Answers:
Honestly, it can be anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks after the cold goes away. I know when I get a bad cold, I may feel better (fever and aches gone) after a few days, but I will stay stuffy for a couple of weeks afterward. A tip I got from someone that has worked wonders for me- Claritan D (available behind the counter, no prescription needed) is the best for clearing up nasal congestion whether it's from allergies or a cold or sinus infection. Always remember to stay hydrated and eat, even if you don't have an appetite. It will help. Feel better!!

if there is no complications like a sinus infection, it should last 7-10 days. If longer you may have a secondary bacterial infection, so check with the doctor if it lasts longer than that.
7 days, if you lasts longer you should see a doctor for some Antibiotics
A few days
