try breathing some steam

A great way to do this is by heating up a few potatoes (uncooked) to a high temperature. Plain water doesn't work too well, as it will cool down very quickly. With potatoes, you put them and your head under a cover and simply breathe the air, or steam if you put the potatoes in water. At first, this will be difficult and the hot steam/air will be burning your lungs. After it gets to a semi-tolerable temperature, you can breathe at normal speeds and inhale completely. This should relieve a stuffy nose.
Snort Wasabi. That'll clear your sinuses right up. All the time.

(Edit: I take no responsibility if you sniff wasabi and something goes wrong. This is the internet. And you're not supposed to take me seriously. Especially me. I mean, seriously, when have I ever talked about Wasabi and not mention sex? It boggles the mind! P.S. Snorting wasabi burns like HELL. So if you do snort it, snort a VERY small amount and be prepared to die.)[/size]

If you have a lot of liquid snot in your nose, and your near a sink, here's an effective (yet really disturbing ) way to get rid of some of it.
Youve all caughed up flem before I assum (green stuff from the throat). All you need to do, is snort all the snot you can from you nose, into your throat, this is where most people swallow, BUT NO NO! don't swallow it! caugh it up like you would flem and spit it into an appropriat place at your own leisure. This is not the type of thing you try to do in public, but if your in a private area, or alone outside, this helps keep things clear for a while till you can get to a kleen x box or what not.
I'd suggest being ready to spit, because holding that stuff in your mouth is just not a cool feeling. :-D

How is swallowing it different from spitting it out? Instead of flem digesting in your stomach, its lying on the ground in front of you?
It doesnt digest in your stomach, it just coats your throat with the rest of all the snot and boogers. Thats what its for, lubrication.

Umm, phlegm originates from your chest (lungs), thus why it is hard to breath when you're sick. When you swallow it, it does not go back into the lungs, and it doesn't stick to your esophagus because it's already coated. So it goes straight into your stomach.
Coughing the stuff up is more important than whether you spit it out or swallow it. Generally steaming up a bathroom with a hot shower will loosen the phlegm in your lungs.
[...]It's certainly more satisfying to spit out the crap[...]
