well u might really think this is gross....but u can put a solution of salt water in your nose....it opens the sinus up no joke.......actually there is a little tea pot deal that is made to do such a thing...by doing that u clean out all the bacteria and junk thats in your head...also try a nice hot shower and try sucking warm water up in your nose and blow it back out...i know it sounds nasty but it works

Flush your sinuses with simply saline.. this will remove the build up of viruses and bacteria.  \nAvoid breathing cleaning products in your home.  avoid breathing fuel vapors.. avoid breathing heavy perfumes .. hairspray and nail polish remover.. all these things destroy the nature mucose in the lining of your nose.\nCut dairy products out of your diet.. milk, cheese, butter, ice cream... these make your mucose very thick and traps bacteria. \nBuild your immune system with good food and exercise.\nDrink spring water..not tap water with clorine.. these things have helped me avoid sinus infections for the past 10 years.\nIf you feel stuff drink hot golden seal tea.. you can find this at GNC. it will make your nose run and clear you up.

Some people use a plain saline nasal spray to open up congestion. My method isn't particularly fast, but it WORKS. I take 4 DEODORIZED garlic tablets right away, and then again every 6 hours for about 2-3 days, drinking lots of water. It is disgusting, but before I know it in about a day to day and a half, the sinus infection clears out (in a tissue.. I told you it was gross). and I can breathe freely again.\nI had to find another way than decongestants.. I can't take them because they can cause a fatal side effect with another medication I HAVE to take.  The garlic tablets have done the trick for me everytime, for about 6 years now.\nHope this helps!

Adding humidity will help,especially if you can and it to your furnace (accuair is its name) you can try nasal sprays like afrin,but you HAVE to follow the directions on it or try lightly rubbing vasoline inside your nose right before you retire for the night.But humidity is the biggest thing to try and add.Good luck

Drink water while holding your nose! It worked for me!

At most pharmacies you can find an item called a nasal pot.  Some refer to it as a Netty Pot.  You fill it with warm salty water and it flushes out the stuff clogging your nose.  I am an opera singer and depend on having my nasal passages clear.  This is the best.  Better than nasal spray and not addicting at all.\n\nGood luck!

over-the-counter try claritin D, or maybe just a cold medicine to stop the flow.\nIf you can get a prescription try Zyrtec. Works like a charm! \nMy allergist tells me to flush my nose with salt water every night 2 hours before I go to sleep to get all the mucus/allergens out. It really works. You can buy these little bottles at the drug store that come with salt packets and instructions. Ask the pharmacist.

saline to moisten the nose and drink lots of water, gargle, and steam and do this every day. I've got year round allergies and I empathize with you.:O)

You can try taking large amounts of Vitamin C, A and E.  If you own a juicer, try a carrot/apple juice combination.\n\nRealistically, however the only thing I've found to work is Zicam.  It is an over-the-counter zinc nasal spray that is proven to shorten colds.

You're wanting your nose to run...ok.  Try treating the symptom with\n1) hot steam, perhaps with eucalyptus oil in it\n2) Vick's Vapo Rub as directed\n3) my doctor prescribed Guaifenesin, which I found  in over-the-counter meds as well\n4) hot and spicy foods\n\nTry treating the cause with\n1) vitamins A, C and E\n2) grape seed and skin extracts \n3) a good multi-vitamin and \na good herbal formulation\n4) raw or frozen fruits and vegetables\n\nAlso consider laying off mucus-forming products, such as milk and cheese, while drinking more fruit juice and water.

I go along with the steam treatment to loosen up the stuffy head.  It won't give you long term relief, but sometimes a short reprieve is better than none!  Simply laying down with a hot wash cloth over your face will bring some relief.\n\nDo you have anything mentholated?  Maybe a joint cream like Flexall?  They will work to temporarily clear sinuses.

Breathe Right nasal strips worked wonders for my husband! They are cheap and available at any drugstore. Amazingly simple concept but it works! It's a good start before trying anything more serious/expensive!
