Congestion help
I'm super congested and I've tried Tylenol Cold and Sinus, DayQuil and Afrin. Nothing helps. Does anyone have any other suggestions??

4. I don't think I know how to use this
And it doesn't look like something that helps congestion...

I don't think the exercises are necessary, though.

Mucinex works really well too.

3. Saline spray....
unlike Afrin you can use it over and over. It may not be the solution to all of the congestion, but it should help at least a little. Hope you feel better soon!

5. Mucinex works pretty good.
I've done the neti pot thing (at first it's kinda gross, but you get used to it).
