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.

Try salt water gargling or steam inhalations. Avoid icecreams and other cold stuff. Hot soups definately do alleviate the cold. If too bad try an anti-histamine tablet. It helps.

Get a humidifier.  If you don't have one, boil a big pot of water on the stove until you can get one.  It will help some.

How to reduce allergens around the home:\n\n•Use HEPA Air Filters In Every Room Where You Spend A Lot Of Time.\noHEPA stands for High Efficiency Particulate Air, and a HEPA filter captures 99.97% of all particles. 3 microns or larger. That's 240 times smaller than the width of a human hair. \n•Keep Humidity Low.\noMoisture is a breeding ground for dust mites and mold. Keep humidity below 50% by using an air conditioner in the summer and a dehumidifier in the winter.\n•Install Filters In Your Heating/Cooling Systems.\noFilters are easy to install on most systems, and they seal off an often-overlooked allergen pathway into your home. \n•Replace Wall-to-Wall Carpeting With Washable Rugs.\noCarpets are a breeding ground for dust mites, mold, bateria, and other irritants that can aggravate allergy and asthma symptoms.\n\n•Vacuum Thoroughly And Often.\noIf removing carpeting isn't an option, it's important to vacuum frequently. But beware of traditional vacuums. They actually spew more dust, pollen, mold, pet dander, and bacteria into the air than they remove. \n•Replace Heavy Curtains And Draperies With Washable, Lightweight Curtains.\noMold, bacteria, dust mites, and other airborne allergens thrive in thick curtains and drapes, just as they do in deep carpets.\n\nHow to reduce dust around the home:\n\n•Encase Your Bedding In Allergy Relief Products.\noThis first step is essential, because, right now, millions of dust mites are thriving in your mattress and pillows. Putting mite-proof encasings on all your bedding, including your box spring and comforter, creates a protective barrier so you can sleep soundly and symptom-free. \n\n•Wash Sheets And Pillowcases Often.\noIt's important to do this once a week. If you wash your linens with AllerWash, you can wash them in any temperature. If not, be sure to use hot water.\n\n•Store Clothing In Drawers And Closets.\noKeep them closed to minimize dust. This, in turn, will prevent mites from breeding.\n\n•Clean And Treat Your Carpets, Rugs, And Upholstered Furniture.\noIf possible, avoid carpeting and upholstered furniture altogether. If this is not an option, treat with a solution designed to neutralize dust mite allergens. \n\nHow to protect against pet dander:\n\n•PROTECT YOURSELF AGAINST PET DANDER\noDander forms on animal's skin and fur, causing your allergy miseries. Unfortunately, the only sure-fire way to end your suffering is to remove the pet. If your not willing to part with your furry companion, here are some specific steps you can take to minimize your reaction.\n\n•Control Where Your Pet Sleeps.\noDon't allow your pet to sleep in your bedroom. Use a pet blanket or other bedding that can be washed frequently in hot water.\n\n•Bathe And Treat Your Pet's Coat.\noUse a pet shampoo that is specially formulated to reduce dander. Also use a dander-inhibiting solution.\n\n•Use A HEPA Filter.\n\nMINIMIZE MOLD\nBathrooms, basements, and kitchens are common areas for mold, but mold flourish in virtually any warm, moist, poorly lit area-such as behind wall paper, under carpets, and in air ducts. \n•Install Exhaust Fans.\noExhaust fans in the kitchen and bathroom help keep humidity low so mold can't thrive as easily.\n\n•Use A Safe But Strong Cleaning Solution.\noBe sure it's one specially formulated to eliminate mold and mildew. Then apply a chemical-free mold inhibiting treatment. Doing both produces the most effective solution.\n\n•Limit Houseplants Inside Your Home.\noMold grows on plants and in potting soil. Using an allergen sealing spray on those you keep helps prevent mold spores from becoming airborne.\n\n•Store Old Books Properly.\noBooks, especially old ones, are a major source of mold. Store them in tightly sealed containers under very low humidity.

Chamomile tea with honey is always good (and delicious!), but gargling with salt water ( a cup of warm water, a half teaspoon of salt) works best.  Tastes gross, but such is life.  \n\nMy housemate swears by chewing whole cloves of garlic, like six a day, when she's sick.  Makes you brush your teeth a lot, but helps your immune system.

A humidefier would help. Also, saline solution in the nose and then suctioned out helps. Pedicare makes even infant cold medicine.  See this link:http://www.askdrsears.com/html/8/T089800.asp\nIf he doesn't get better, see a doctor soon!  Good luck!

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!

Move out of Texas.\nDon't work with harsh chemical vapors.\nGet a job away from blowing dust, soot, exhaust, pollens, mold spores, cat and dog dander.\n\nUse something to kill dust mites in your house:  Type Kill Dust Mites on Google for suggestions.\n\nUse an Air Purifier in your home.  Good ones that use water and are washable (rather than buying expensive replacement filters) are available from Ace Hardware stores.\n\nGet non-allergenic pillow and keep cats out of your bedroom, dogs also.\n\nUse a non-allergenic, perfume free Laundry Detergent.  ALL makes one.
