I'm in the same boat just coming off one. I used Vicks around my nose because I could not breathe. It worked instantly. But other then that you may just have to ride kt out. Feel better soon!

If you need something with a little more, you can take benadryl to help. Also I sit on the side of the tub and run straight hot water for about 15 minutes, breathing in the steam. Then I will hang my head between my knees and most of the congestion runs out. Hoping you feel better soon.

I just got over a cold. It lasted about a week. I used saline nasal spray (salt water) and drank honey Lemon tea (1 teaspoon of honey 2 teaspoons of lemon + hot water). Get plenty of rest and drink lots of fluids.
