I have a pile of tissues next to me and 70% of the time i blow nothing comes out
also loving nostrils burn like salt in a wound
You're forcing air through a bunch of inflamed tissues and making them flap around like crazy, even though there's nothing physically blocking your airways. Essentially, you're making it worse.
What you should do is this: Go outside and run around your block until you're extremely exhausted. What will happen is that your body will release epinephrine and, ideally, your airways should unblock temporarily. While they're unblocked, use some kind of saline nasal spray to try and stop the inflammation.
