Nasal / Sinus Congestion

Just to add......

From a comfort point of view...

As a diver this is something that gets me regularly.

If you're in the UK Vicks do a decongestant spray that has
an Aloe Vera component as well (Soother I think it's called)
in addition to the heavy duty decongestant. It makes life a
lot more plesant, and doesn't sting the nasal membranes so
much!

Probably Grandmothers and eggs but.......

Pinching the nose and blowing GENTLY should give
some temporary relief, but, to hard and it's bye bye
oval window or worse eardrum. Normally works quite
well after a shot of decongestant.

If you're in Germany there's a milder one called Privin that
my other half uses, she reckons that's even milder, but, just
as effective.

Hope it helps
