Hi, well for a while now, whenever i've gone to bed i've had to put my arm accross my face and open my nosteral (sp) so i can breath. It worked, but it wasn't very comfy.
It's further up where its blocked, where i can't get too. Is there anything i can do without seeing a doctor? :)

bowl of steamin' hot water, couple drops of mint oil and a towel. Put towel over head, and just inhale the steam, sooner or late the block should come flushin' out :p

Get some Sudafed for the day and Night Nurse for the erm Night? Both of them will keep the congestion problem under control and the Night Nurse has no caffiene so you can get a good sleep and keep decongested at the same time.

Doing this everynight is a pain. What about cotton buds, or would that damage something?

You could cause serious damage to your sinuses that way, medication will do the job and is much much safer.

Why the hell don't people go to the doctor...

You would...

Go in.
Get looked up the windtunnels.
Get it cleared right there or get some duact etc.
Go home.

Tadaa!

People get sick and doctors make it better.

You could always do what they would do if you were living in a cartoon - use dynamite

and go seing a doctor to make it really really good at once is a bad thing why? there ARE some house cures that works but why bother when a doctor can fix in in 5 minutes insted of inhaling steam for a week or 2?

just go to the damn doctor :)

actually, doctors make you wait in line. then they tell you stuff you know about whats wrong with you. then they have to make tests. while you are waiting in line for the tests and for their results your problem fixes itself. and if it doesnt, they dont have a cure anyway.

It sounds like you have Rhinitis - basically, its a year round hayfever that cloggs your nose all the time for no reason. It can be inflamed by anything (my wife has it, its caused by normal dust :eek7:) Its a 2 min visit to the doctor with no probing, not even the fun kind. You then get a repeat prescription for it so you only ever have to visit once :) Nothing you can buy over the counter tho :(

Check Wikipedia's definition, and see if it fits :)

Take your finger out of your nose. And stop inserting foreign objects up there too, youll never get those car keys out.

If you don't want to go to a doctor's then go to a chemist and ask to speak to a pharmacist. They are trained to give dispensary information, and are usually a lot more informative than people usually give them credit for.
