What's the fastest way to get rid of a stuffed nose?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Decongestant: A decongestant is probably fastest but is not the best in the long run.

Neti pots can : Reduce nasal congestion. Mix ¼ tsp salt w 1 cup lukewarm water. More salt can also be used. Place solution in neti pot. Tilt head & pour solution into 1 nostril. Blow nose lightly & spit out any liquid that drains into throat. Repeat on other side. This can be done in the pm before you go to bed & again in the morning. Afrin is faster (but can only use short term). Decongestants may have se's.
