I find taking a hot, shower and brushing your teeth while in there helps out A TON. Make sure you use a really "minty" toothpaste, and scrub the heck out of your palette and the back of your tongue. Then try to not to spray boogers on your feet as it all comes out.
If that fails, using a salt water solution can help. Just snort it up there- it's gonna sting like crazy, but eventually that gets better.
If at all possible- try to stay away from Drixoral, Dristan, etc. Over time you can do damage to your nasal passages, and although they provide temprorary relief, once the effect wears off the symptoms usually come back as strong if not stronger, requiring you to use more the next time. And the vicious cycle begins.
