Treatment for blocked nose

I have nasal allergy due to which both my nostrils get blocked in winter due to dust and cold. I inhale steamed water with Vick's to get relief and also stay warm by properly covering my head and ears. Still I don't get 100 percent relief. Please let me know what should I do to get rid of this as this is hampering my sleep.
