I don't know if this will help, but I used to get 'colds' all the time too. I haven't had one since I started getting flu and pneumonia shots. It works so well I keep track so I never miss one! If you go to the pharmacy and get a bottle (not spray can!) of nasal saline, it will help unstuff your head without using drugs. Bend your head slightly forward when you use it for best results. I use it all the time. Best $2.00 a month I spend, AND no symptom rebound, like you can get from drugs.
