plenty of water and sleep. They will boost your immune system. Try to eliminate stess by making "me time".

Use afrin or some other kind of nosespray. It completely clears your nose for a while and it's basically the best thing ever for a cold. Nyquil works good during the night for me when I have a cold, too.

Sometimes the breathe right strips work. Try sleeping on your side or on your stomach. Also, if you can keep your mouth closed and breathe through your nose, it will help.

Keep your sinus clean and hydrated.\n\nThere are many nasal 'douching' techniques and gadgets out there. (I find that a small bowl with warm water and sea salt work the best.)  Mostly all that does is rinse things out and moisturizes the membranes.\n\nSounds odd but it sure works!

Do what they do on C.S.I., put some Vicks Vapo-Rub under your nose.

If a bride wakes up on her wedding day with a huge zit on her nose, she can get a direct injection of cortisone that will reduce inflammation very quickly. But that's for extreme cases. Basically...makeup is the only way to reduce redness. You can try some spot acne meds but they aren't really all that effective. Popping the zit, as tempting as it is, will prolong its time on your face and prevent it from healing...it also increases the chance of it become infected or filling up with puss once again. So popping it wil actually make it redder. Leaving it be is the best way to go...

At drug store, buy a bottle of normal saline nasal spray. Use it 4-6 times a day to keep the inside of your nose more moist. Avoid the urge to "pick" at the dry scabby areas. After you use the spray, you may want to use mouthwash, gum, or a mint. It leaves an odd salty taste in the back of your mouth.\n\nAt bedtime, grease the insides of your nostrils with a tiny dab of vaseline. Don't try using hand lotion for this.

mix some eucalyptus oil in hot water, pop your head over it and cover with a towel, this will hopefully stop your cold going onto your chest, try and breathe in the fumes for as long as possible. also rub some under your nose as it'll help unblock your nose and rub onto your chest and pillow when you go to bed. i sympathise as I've had 2 colds in 6 weeks.

Start taking Zinc.  Clinically proven to help prevent and shorten colds.

You can try taking large amounts of Vitamin C, A and E.  If you own a juicer, try a carrot/apple juice combination.\n\nRealistically, however the only thing I've found to work is Zicam.  It is an over-the-counter zinc nasal spray that is proven to shorten colds.

You don't mention if something happened to your nose.\nHave you been mashing zits?  Have you been snoring coke?\nHave you had a fight and got your nose clobbered?\nSometimes a person can sleep funny and their nose gets mashed up against a pillow or on the bed and hurts the following day.\nIs your nose dry because of the weather?  Do you have cold sores around your nose making it hurt?    Petroleum based products used inside the nose will help to relieve dryness.\nHope I have helped some but without knowing what is going on,it is hard to properly answer your question.

Try Zicam.  It's a zinc based remedy that's supposed to reduce the length and duration of sore throats and colds.  You can also suck on zinc lozenges, but I find that they taste bad.  I prefer the Zicam nasal swabs... that way I don't have to taste the zinc.\n\nI've personally used it and can say that Zicam works, at least for me.  My sore throats are gone in half the time and the symptoms are dramatically reduced.  Use it at the first sign of a sore throat or cold (although, you can begin using it at any stage of a cold to reduce the symptoms from that point).

You can get an alternate mask for your CPAP that covers your mouth as well as your nose so if your nose is stuffed you'll still get the benefits of CPAP by breathing through your mouth. If the cold is short-term a decongestant nasal spray such as Afrin might help, but ONLY use that sparingly. OTC decongestants also might be of value. If the problem persists, talk to an ENT--you may benefit from a steriod nasal spray such as Flonase, or you may need surgery (to repair a deviated septum, for example, or a turbinectomy). Getting off the Xanax would be a good long-term goal (I know, easy to say...). I'm sure you've explored other options but meditation and mindfulness are two techinques that can sometimes help.
