So for the past week or so I've had a pretty bad cold. The symptoms haven't been really bad but lately my nose has been so damn stuffed up that I can't even breathe out of it 90% of the day. It's gotten so bad that from all the times I have to blow my nose it has made my nose all red and raw. My nose has also gotten extremely dry, as I suffer from dry skin frequently.
My problem is the blowing nose thing.
Does anyone have any good ideas to help either my nose be less dried out and raw, or any good way to just get all this snot out of my nose once and for all?
I've basically only tried decongestants for all the snot up in there (but they seem to not work for shit) and I have been putting lotion on/around my nose for the dry-ness (my nose seems to dry out again in about 5 minutes and that puts me back at step 1)
Help appreciated!

As a singer, a stuffy nose can spell death on performance day. I know my way around these kinds of things.
Snot rocket.
Masturbate, clears up the nose well.
Really hot shower.
it's actually not complicated. rest.
Mint gum is very useful for this.
Mint gum while drinking extremely cold water.
Spicy food helps. Especially this stuff:

Spicy food, masturbating (believe it or not), swimming, and my personal favorite, soda with salt.
Just get a glass with 1/4 water, fill it with mostly soda (plain if possible, Sprite is second best.). Then add a little salt. Take a straw, snort away. Let the liquid go through your nose, hold it, and then let it down your throat, then spit out your mouth. Don't swallow. Trust me.

That sounds really unpleasent.
Eat a spoon full of Wasabi. Stuff a little up your nose if you're man enough.
You'll be breathing clearly in no time.
Yah eating spicy stuff helps a bunch, take a fresh Habenero and eat it raw while suffering extreme pain (if you're a pussy) you will also have no more stuffed up nose and some hair on your chest.

This. This works, you'll only feel it for a couple of seconds.
Alpine Gum w/ Menthol - Actually works.
Another method, is to press your tongue forcefully into the roof of your mouth and at the same time, apply pressure on your right between your eyes. This widens your nasal cavity exits slightly removing the "stuffed" feeling. Takes about 30sec-2 minutes to have an effect and lasts for about 20-45 minutes.
go to a shoppers drugmart and buy these shower tablets, follow the instructions on it (use in shower,about 1-2 feet away from drain *INFRONT OF YOU*) and it clears your nose, but might make you sneeze.
but it works and I know it does
Get some of that exfoliating gas or whatever you get when you burn incense. Huff the smoke that comes out.
You're going to die.

Actually works wonders. Trust me.
The neti pot flushes your sinus cavities with warm salt water. Feels weird at first but you can breath again.

Agree. Feels like you've been born at new.
You fill a glass with water, put some salt in it and drip it very slow and carefully in your nose. It's not really that bad.
Also, stay home for a couple of days.
Pouring shit down your nose is disgusting.
Really, just get some sort of nose spray at your local drug store, i get it when i have a stuffed up nose and i just make it get it out of there and just blow it out then.
