Clogged Nostrils

I had a viral infection two days ago. Since I really did not feel well enough to go to work I visited a doctor so I can be diagnosed. Funny I told her it was when I started eating fruits for breakfast, drinking water often and spending time to exercise during the weekends that I had gotten ill. I thought there was something I was not doing right.
She assured me that since it was a viral infection, it has nothing to do with what I had been doing lately to get fit. As she checked my nostrils if they were clogged by putting a 4 inch wood with a bud on its tip in my nostril, I almost hit the roof. I begged not to do it with my other nostril as I was almost grabbing her knee due to the pain I was feeling.
I was told by mom that steam can actually helped one's nostrils unclogged. What about you, do you have any alternative ?

Your mom is right, Try to put inverted funnel in a glass of hot water then slowly sniff the steam thru the funnel while closing the other nostril. When you feel that the heat was already inside, try to do it with the other one. Then try to slightly massage the sinus points (the part of your face between the cheeks and nose) circularly.
Other is to put menthol on hot water and try to sniff it without the use of inverted funnel.
I hope these will help you resolve your clogged nose. Good day!
