The unsubstantiated claim I've heard most recently (I forget where)
is that nasal congestion helps fight cold and flu viruses.  If air
can't circulate through the nasal cavities, heat builds up and kills
the little critters.

As for me, I think I'd rather have the cold a few extra days and be
able to breathe more-or-less freely.
