Vicks VapoRub works wonderfully with stuffed noses.

Stuffy nose: When nasal passages close up
A stuffy nose is less messy than a runny nose, but it's equally frustrating. Some common causes of a stuffy nose include:
* Virus. Your nose can become stuffy if you have a cold or the flu. Often, other signs and symptoms — such as a cough, sore throat or fever — accompany a stuffy nose caused by a virus.
* Allergies. Your stuffy nose might result from exposure to things you're allergic to, such as dust, pollen or pet dander. In response to these exposures, your nasal passages become irritated and swollen (allergic rhinitis).
* Nonallergic inflammation of your nasal blood vessels (vasomotor rhinitis). Your nose can become stuffy in response to the blood vessels in your nose expanding. This can happen with vigorous exercise or in response to environmental triggers, such as cigarette smoke or air conditioning. Stress may trigger vasomotor rhinitis for some people.
Less commonly, a stuffy nose may result from a deformity in the cartilage and bony partition separating your two nasal chambers (nasal septum) — for instance, from a broken nose years ago — or a growth in your nasal passage, such as a nasal polyp.
Relief for your stuffy nose
Besides blowing your nose, try these tips to relieve your stuffy nose:
* Breathe in the steam from a warm shower to help loosen the mucus. You can also inhale steam from a kettle or pot of boiling water. You may have to keep at this for at least 10 minutes for the steam to be effective.
* Drink plenty of liquids, such as water, juice or tea. Avoid caffeinated beverages, which can cause dehydration and aggravate your symptoms.
* Use an over-the-counter nasal saline spray to thin your mucus and get rid of irritants, or prepare your own saltwater solution (nasal lavage).
* Try an oral decongestant, preferably in liquid or pill form. A decongestant spray may be helpful, but should not be used for more than three days, as it can cause rebound stuffiness and can be irritating for some people. All decongestants (oral or topical) can cause a stimulant effect and raise blood pressure for some people.
If'n you don't have the meds, try going into your bathroom and turning the shower on hot, and letting it run while you sit in there with the door closed. The steam should make your nose run so you can blow it.
Edit: Oh, alright then. Show me up by posting it in the long thing I didn't bother to read first. >:O
Wow, this exact same thing happened to me awhile back. It stayed like that for about 2 weeks so be prepared for miserableness. I just waited until it cleared up. But I did tried Vicks Vapor Rub like Miriel said. And I think that might've helped speed up the process.
Throw a tin of Altoids (uber strong mints) in your mouth and chew, chew, chew!
I was going to suggest claranaise (if thats how you spell it) but yeah they workQuote:

Yes, although you alone have the power to fix the wrongs committed today. Awaken from your slumber, former staff, and rise to stand against the powers that seek to take away our sovereignty today.Quote:
