Any tried and tested methods for unblocking my nose please

I literally did not sleep a wink last night, as I just couldn't breathe.

I do have Covid at the moment, which may partially explain the blocked nose, but I suffer from this anyway on a regular basis.

I usually use Otrivine nose drops, but even they are providing no relief at the moment. I have tried Vicks, but that's not helping (can't really smell it either, so presumably that is all part and parcel of Covid).

Does anyone have any suggestions of anything I can try, just to clear the blockage now?

Thank you - some really good suggestions. I will be trying most, if not all of them. I've
ordered a Neti pot, which I'd never heard of before, as well as an array of other goods, from Amazon, which should be here tomorrow.

I'm another one for menthol crystal steam inhalation.

I inhale steam + menthol crystals with this. (The top has been twisted round for display on GN.) I bought it in the local chemist’s a couple of years ago.

Thoro I use this with a small amount of vicks and a towel over my head to make a wee sauna. Every so often pop your head out and have a gentle blow.
