You can also use a saline nasal spray to help cear out your nasal passages and allow you to breathe better. You can use it as many times a day as you want to. There is also a saline nasal gel made by Ayr, that has some menthol and aloe vera in it. It is very soothing to the inside of the nose and helps keep it moisturized. The menthol also helps you breathe better. Another thing is to sleep partially sitting up or with your head propped up by a few pillows, because this allows your sinuses to drain during the night.

What you have right now could be an allergy. It could also be a sinus infection or a bad cold. Do you have any fever with it? It's best to just go to the doctor and have him look up your nose and in your ears and throat. You may need an anti-biotic, and possibly something to clear up the nasal congestion, like Allegra-D or Claritin-D.
