Anyone have some home remedies they'd be willing to share?
I've been suffering with a stuffed nose and clogged ears for um, dunno, weeks, months. I did go to the doctor and was on antibiotics which helped for a while. But the nose is constantly clogged and my ears are popping all the time. I've used the nasal sprays but given they are addictive I'm usually 3 days on, two days off, just to prevent problems

The squeezy bottle version of a neti pot did the trick for B that years of neti didn't. He was scheduled for sinus surgery, went in for a final pre-surgery orientation meeting, and the VA nurse recommended he pick up one of these, and that they'd be recommending it as a prophylactic measure post-surgery anyway. A week later, he cancelled the surgery, and a 10 year off-and-on sinus infection (that had resisted some *very* strong meds) went away.
Evidently the gentle positive pressure does stuff that the gravity-flow of a neti pot can't.

It was impressive seeing him go from blinding headaches to happy camper.

If I could have days where I am not continually stuffed up and can actually hear and sleep, I'd be so damn happy and a lot more functional too.

I hope you have good results!
Being unwell is generally unhappymaking, but I find that congestion makes me claustrophobic and paranoid. It's not a good combination.
