I have a cold and can't sleep because i can't breathe through my nose. I need sleep. Pls.

Bless thee. May you get well soon.

dyphenhydramine

There is water bottles that you can flush one of your nostrils and water comes out of other. Best solution I found.

Drill couple more holes in your nose

I don't have all those drugs. But i kind of slept some hours because i drilled some holes thanks @electrineer

I try and always have some of the best, expense-disregarded, night time remedy in the house. In the UK that's some stuff called Night Nurse, which pretty much guarantees sleep.

@Demolishun doxylamine....actually no. Stay out of that lol

eat some wasabi. clears my ducts every time

There are... Non chemical ways.

Simplest: Warm water towels. Hot steam from e.g. shower (google).

Bit uncomfortable, but possible without fancy stuff: irrigate the sinuses. When not using a neti pot or stuff like that, you just need to be careful to not swallow the saline solution. Saline solution is water, baking soda, salt - recipes / YouTube tutorials.

What you should be careful with: Nasal sprays. Depending on content, they can do more harm if used for a too long time. It's always wise to read the instructions. :)

@IntrusionCM bei mir kommt nur pure isotonische meer-/kochsalzlösung in die Nase, aber danke.

Mhm i don't have baking soda here and currently it's my stomach that fucks me up and my nose is just running endlessly.

But i came here to rant about it and didn't think people would really write helpful stuff here

If you take doxylamine don’t try anything intellectually harder than tying your shoes the next day....

@TeachMeCode That isn't what I posted.

@Demolishun lol just a joke. Was sarcastically suggesting doxylamine over benadryl before being real and pointing out that it’s not the best approach lol
