I get a blocked nose most mornings, still havent understood the cause, but i cant be bothered to go to the dr's about it (and besides, i dont trust dr's) - anyway, what i do is, discusting as it is, is get some kitchen roll, rip some off, roll it into a small pad, and stick some up my nose. sounds stupid, but surprisingly works! when i take them outta my nose about an hour or half an hour later, my nose feels nice and clear! only down side of course is the fact i have these two gross snotty bits of kitchen paper left over! no probs, in the bin, jobs a good un.
