I can't even blow it, that's how bad it's blocked. Damn you, whoever gave me this cold!!!!!!!!!

I'd put a vacuum up to my nose - that much provide enough suction (although - I'm afraid my brains might get sucked out at the same time....)......lol

You'll burst a bunch of blood vessels, bruising the inside of your nose, causing a nosebleed, and creating a pathway for infection. Snort bleach instead.

'Stuffed up' could be either
mucus and other crap, or swollen nasal passages, or both. Vacuuming isn't going to help if it's inflammation, but please post pics :D

They do make those things you can use to rinse your sinuses. I forget what they're called, though. Stick it in one nostril and tilt your head...

Get the vicks and smear it around your nostrals. That stuff will start oozing right out in a matter of minutes. Vicks is like draino on steroids for boogers.
