Phenylephrine AS Ephrine Nose Drops.

It's ineffective orally, but it sure as heck works up your nose. Just occasionally though, you can get dependent, making things worse in the long run.

Perhap remove the irritant? Maybe it's the air quality, bedding, or fabric softener?

A lot of water, dusting, washing your bed sheets, exercise, and watching your diet, all help a bit.

I like to take a hot shower, cup the hot water, and blow my nose into my hands until it stops being congested.

I also uh...picked my nose clean during this time, but I don't recommend this.
