help...nose is awful

So I am looking for some tips and tricks about running/stopped up nose!!! It has been like this for about 5 months now and I cannot take it anymore. I am consistently blowing or wiping my nose to the point where it is completely raw and hurts to blow or wipe. Is there anyone that has any ideas of what to do to help fix this problem?

Re: help...nose is awful

  • Do you use a humidifier at night? That usually helps me out, also make sue you are drinking lots of water .
  • no I do not!! I will try one tonight!! It is so awful

  • I've have similar issues! I use the humidifier at night and make sure my head is propped up with a couple of pillows when I sleep.  It doesn't completely cure it but it helps a little!
  • Also use saline nasal spray.
  • I take benadryl when I sleep to keep my snot nose under control. As a bonus it helps to keep you asleep better

  • Neti pot before bed
  • I agree with PP on saline nasal spray. Although its pretty disgusting when you feel the liquid going down your throat, it helps me a TON! My nose has been stuffed up for a few weeks because of who knows what reason, and that spray has been my life saver.
  • Kleenex cool touch tissues...they're cool to the touch and really soft so they won't tear up your nose. I don't use any other type of tissue :) Benadryl helps as well...sometimes one pill is enough to do the job.
  • I have been feeling like this forever and feel like this for weeks and weeks every year. One non medicine alternative I always have on me is puffs tissues with vicks.. They are a little intense if you are sore in the nose but they always help open me up and get me feeling good! Hope you start feeling better!!
  • I agree with the neti pot and the humidifier suggestions. I had a terrible stopped up runny nose for a while during my first trimester and couldn't bear it any longer. Neti pots are kinda gross, but once you get the hang of it, it makes you feel so much better  :)

  • thank you everyone :)
  • When I have a bad cold and my nose is raw, I put plain chapstick on it at night before bed, and a few times during the day. It helps a ton!
  • I use nasal spray every night and it helps out so much! I can actually breathe and attempt to sleep. Benadryl also helps with your nose and sleeping!
  • Try rubbing Vicks vapor rub on your chest and maybe throat. I'm not sure how it works but it works for me every time. It clears my airways like no other
  • I neti pot and also use nasal strips at night.  The nasal strips are amazing and open my airway enough to where I can sleep comfortably and breathe.
