HELP -- I have a cold or allergies/sinus or combination of all

Can anyone recommend something that works? I've been taking Advil Cold/Sinus its OK, but I want something to knock it out fast -- I hate feeling like this

My symptoms are:
my head is so clouded - I can't think and my nose is stuffy and then runny and sneezing all the time.

Help

TIA

Nyquil usually works pretty well for me, if I can get at least a solid 8 hours though - or the cloudiness just gets worse. Feel better!

I get sinus infections all the time and use antibiotics and flonase. Feel better!

Afrin nasal spray, hot tea - no milk, and rest.

Feel better.

I like Sudafed...when it/if it turns into a sinus infection, go right to the doctor and get nose spray and antibiotics. Oh, and I used an OTC nose spray called 4-Way (I think it was '4') recently and it worked really well.

I had something similar last weekend - sore throat, mild cough, runny nose, stuffy head.
I took Comtrex cold & cough and felt better. Comtrex also has Acute head cold medicine
