decongested
No longer stuffed
Decongested describes something that has been cleared of congestion.
Most often it refers to nasal passages after treatment with a decongestant: My sinuses finally feel decongested.
It can also describe traffic or systems that have been freed from blockage: The decongested highway moved smoothly after rush hour.
