Use a neti pot. You can pick one up from the pharmacy for less than 15 bucks. It is basically a way to "wash" your sinuses by pouring a salt/baking soda in water solution through one nostrel to drain out of the other nostrel... kind of like how you keep your mouth clean by brushing your teeth. Works so well for me, makes my sinuses feel free and clear. and it can be used many times a day-- no harmful side effects!! better than medicine by far.
