I've been stuffed up throughout as well - and then the other week I felt like crap and got real sick and couldn't breath out of my nose for three days! It was awful because I couldn't sleep and ended up missing work and blech!
Try the NetiPot. I swear that three days after using it, I cleared completely up!
Yup, me, too. I think it has something to do with all the extra fluids your body is producing leads to extra mucous as well. I also liked the Neti Pot.
I haven't been stuffed up, although I might welcome it so that I don't have to smell every darn thing and get nauseated! But, I do have a lot of nasal drainage at night. When I get up in the morning, I have a frog in my throat. I was afraid that I was going to get bronchitis -- and I still might -- but so far, I have no real issues from the drainage, and I have not taken any allergy meds for it. My nose sometimes gets a little runny during the day, but it's very temporary. I was told that OTC Claritin is safe to take.

I think it makes you wait like 5 minutes before you can delete extra posts- you know, long enough so everyone can see them!
So far I've been using Vicks Vapo-Rub for congestion and it has worked great....
