Cold or Allergies??

I've never had allergies b4 but i'm so congested I can't breathe at all :/ My chest feels heavy I blow my nose and nothing comes out but as soon as I try to lay down its runny. I've tried Benadryl, saline drops and steam nothing is working anyone else? Anything that's helping u?

Yes drink it hot so when you go to drink it you're also inhaling the steam. I mostly drink it at night right before bed. You could also try getting a wash cloth and wet it with hot water, try your best to squeeze it out and either put it over your whole face or just put it over your nose and inhale the steam
