What is the fastest and most efficient way to get rid of a Stuffy Nose or just a cold on general?

Hot tea with two lemons, honey, ginger, and a whole bunch of cayenne pepper...

Close the door in the bathroom and sit in there for 15-20 minutes while you let the hot water run.

You can also use a hot air humidifier in a room with a little bit of vicks or eucalyptus oil added to it.

Also, you can boil some water in a pot and add then some vicks or eucalyptus oil in the water (make sure with the lid covered to maintain the steam), grab a towel and cover your head with it and lean over the pot and inhale/exhale (of course remove the lid right before you are ready to lean over the pot).

Good luck.

Nasal spray works for me along with Advil Cold and Sinus

I agree with the nasal spray. It will dry up up quick but do not over use it as it will dry out your mucous membranes.

Zicam also works really fast. The trick with Zicam is to use it at the first sign of a cold.

Mucinex D is the best OTC, imo.

I dunno.

Stimulants work too. If the guy has a good meth connect, he'd probably get a lot of stuff done and cure the stuffy nose all in one.

Yup, I took Mucinex D and nasal spray and they made my last terrible cold tolerable.
We need wins, and that's all we need. I don't give a damn about anyone on this roster over wins. I'd trade Ware, Lee and Dez if it meant more wins.

Nothing will cure a cold but if all you have is a stuffy nose, breathing in the fumes from crushed raw non-irradiated garlic will open up the sinuses and kill any bacteria present.

If it's a cold, I use Drisdan and Contac nasal decongestant together to relieve symptoms so I can work. They make life more tolerable but it's still going to take a couple of weeks to go away completely but at least I'm not snivelling and miserable.

I thought everything with a D at the end was prescription. The D being for that it contains Pseudoephedrine.

For instance, you can get Claritin over the counter, but Claritin D is prescription. Sudafed and Sudafed D.

There is a good chance that you don't like me, but there is a better chance that I don't care.

If I'm not insulting you, I'm probably not aware that you exist.
