One thing I have started to use is a Saline Sinus Rinse, which is like a nasal pot thing that you add a packet of inexpensive saline solution along with distilled water to a line on the bottle, then or use boiled water left to cool to room temperature, you place the nozzle thing on your nostril, then the mixture goes up your nose and out your mouth over the sink.
It has helped with my sinus allergy and is supposed to help with congestion, nasal irritation from dust, pollen, animal dander and other allergens.
Just another OTC thing I thought I would share that my doc started and advised me to use to help keep my sinus clear and help reduce the risk of a reoccurring sinus infection.
Hope you begin to feel better soon,  blessings kk101

Is that like a Neti Pot? I saw that on Oprah once and thought about it. I'm thinking maybe one of the factors in me getting my infection was I was keeping my apartment too cold. I turned the heat up and maybe that will help. I was keeping it chilly cuz I didn't want my utility bills to go up to awful bad as I have both gas and electric heat. My heater is heated by water so my water bill goes up in the winter as well so need to try to keep all my utilities down so was keeping my apartment at a cool 65 so I turned it up to 72 so it is still chilly and I need to have a blanket on but it isn't as cold as it was.
