Does ibueprofen help nasal inflamation?

I have a cold and I have nasal inflammation. Like I go blow my nose cos it feels stuffy and I blow my nose and nothing comes out. So does ibueprofen help nasal inflammation since its an anti-inflammatory?

Update:

@Fiona are you serious? Did you not read my question? And boogers can't be clogged. Ur nose sure can but never boogers.. and uh hello its called a cold. Have you never had one? Don't answer moy questions with stupid answers. Ibueprofen is for headaches backaches cramps minor aches and pains. I'm not ODing on Vicoden or morphine.. its motrin aleve advil. Ibueprofen is the active ingredient in all of those. It is also an anti-inflammatory.

Update 2:

Fiona I had absolutely no idea that you had no life. You for real took that long to try to criticize someone on yahoo answers. And sorry darling you're the idiot. You see when you can't breathe whole you're sleeping that turns in to a life threatening situation. And sorry but I have a 5 month old to look after BY MY SELF so yes I did need 300 milligrams of inbeuprofen to make my headache and nasal inflammation go away so I can take care of my son you retard. So here's what I suggest you do. Get a life and don't give me retarded advice that won't work you idiot. But wait I might need to dumb it down for you. Shut up and don't answer my question. Yr advice wasn't friendly. It was dumb. You didn't answer my question. Did I ask if I should take ibueprofen or did I ask of it helped with nasal inflammation? I believe it was the latter. So you didn't help me at all. Kthanksbye

    If you aren't going to visit a doctor, talk to the pharmacist at your local pharmacy. They are trained in the uses of drugs, and what symptoms they work on. They can give you lots of ideas about what to use, and they can walk you right over to where they are located so you can buy them on the spot.

    your boogers are clogged...

    stay off drugs. you dont need ibueprofen unless your in severe pain or have a fever.

    ***I wasn't trolling you idiot, I was actually giving some friendly advice. I didn't think anyone could be as dumb as to confuse friendly and simple advice in SIMPLE ENGLISH, as trolling or anything disrespectful. But obviously, your proved me wrong.

    First of all, you have to be retarded to not understand the simple point I was making when I said "stay off drugs"...You do realize that motrin aleve and advil are still drugs even though they are not as extreme as vicodin or morphine, right? ...and I dont even know why your brought up ODing? I mean your completely embarassing yourself by bringing up such irrelevance.

    Its common sense...drugs are drugs...and should only be used when needed. Now, I am aware that motrin/advil can help headahces cramps back aches ect...yes I KNOW, because they are anti inflammatory. BUT, what I had said simply earlier on, was that...regardless, it is BEST to heal naturally WITHOUT the help of even advil or motrin,(drugs) and it is best to leave those things like motrin/advil(drugs) for times when they are completely necessary like when you have a FEVER or when you are in SEVERE PAIN.

    Because, it wont kill you or harm you in anyway to not take motrin/advil for back back pain and cramps..and minor things like that. I mean, even a 10 year old can understand that.

    Advil, and motrin ect are still unnatural drugs--it doesn't matter if they are able to help those minor things..it doesn't means its good to use them for those things.

    Using motrin and advil everytime you have little aches and pains, doesn't do good for your immune system..Your supposed to let your body fight and heal on its own and become stronger by doing that.. Your not supposed to just pop some advil each time your experiencing a little cramp or some minor pain. You can, but it doesn't mean its good for the body.

    Incase you didn't understand what I just said,*sigh* I wouldn't be suprised, I'll try and dumb it down for you even more. ***You dont need to use drugs for these kinds of pains...YES advil is a drug...the body will heal and the pain will go away naturally...it isn't necessary to use anything for the syptoms you are experienceing right now. It is obviously better for the body, to use minimal motrin/advil. To use minimal unnatural things.

    You have a little cold going on, you dont need to just resort to some advil...it is healthier for the body to just deal with the discomfort and little bit of nasal inflamation soreness or pain or whatever, if you can, than to just quickly take some ibueprofen for it.

    I am 17 years old first of all, all done with high school. Second of all, I dont know your life story or whatever mess your in so dont get all pyscho and drop your whole life story on me. I made my answer clear..I wasnt forcing you to do anything it was just advice. YOU went pyscho about the simple advice..not my problem.

    Now act like a grown woman and get off of yahoo answers and take care of your child.
