I have my first high school cross country race of the year today and a few days ago I came down with a mild stuffy nose/sore throat. Not sure if it's a mild cold or just allergies. Any medicine I can take to combat my symptoms without inhibiting my performance?

Mint, Peppermint - will help clear congestion

Boil some hot water, put your face above the pot with a towel over your head, and breathe in the steam.....will help clear up congestion.
Use the NeilMed sinus rinse every morning until you feel better. Make sure you use distilled, boiled (and cooled), bottled, or filtered water. I use it every day. Life changing.

If some rest and natural remedies don't cut it, I'd recommend flonase for nasal congestion. I avoid too many medicines if possible but sometimes allergies are bad enough I resort to it.
I use a half dose (1 spray per nostril) in the morning and that works for me all day. I'll give it a week so of use then ween myself back off until the next change of seasons and the allergens come back.
