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!

My Great Grandma used to make an elixir of Honey and lemon juice in a cup and have us stir it with a spoon then lick it off to control coughing.  It works for a sore throst.  Also She was a firm believer in Vicks vapor rub to cure nasal and chest congestion.  YOu have to put it under your nose, all over your chest and back then wear a tshirt to bed with a bandana around your neck.  It also works good for muscle pain too.

Anything warm to drink will help open your nasal passages, like chicken soup. If you have a cough you could try some honey and lemon juice mixed together. You just sip it. It really does work for me. Good luck.

I have suggested many of the following natural treaments for cold with great success. \n\nAmp up on Vitamin C and Zinc. Drink a glass of hot green tea with Echinacea and Honey in the morning.\n\nEat only fruits and vegatables during the day plus avoid mucous creating foods such as milk, bread and cheese. Fast from eating meat as your digestive system needs to be ridding itself of toxins and meat will slow down the process. Avoid refined sugar in sugary drinks.\n\nAdd a tablespoon of raw unfiltered apple cider vinegar, cinnamon, and one or two drops of wild oregeno oil to a glass of apple juice, pomogranete juice or grape juice three times a day. Add cayenne if you have mucous in your chest, eyes, ears, nose or throat. Drink six glasses of distilled water each day. Drink three glasses of clean water with 1/4 tablespoon of unrefined sea salt.\n\nDrink a glass of hot Green tea with Echinacea and Honey in the evening with Camomile and take a hot bath before you go to bed. Sit in a bathtub with hot water. Add a cup of apple cider vinegar and a tablespoon cayenne. Sweat out the toxins and go to sleep.\n\nAll sickness comes from the gut. By alkalizing your body and cleansing you will not only cure your cold but also give your body, gut, and skin a wonderful treat.\nSource(s):

I've had some success with Alka Seltzer Plus and the liquid gel caps that are for sinus problems. Of course, I don't have year 'round sinus problems like you do. I've also tried the steam and all the other stuff you tried and they don't work for me. What does help me sleep at night is getting a dust mask (the kind you use when working in a dusty environment), put some Vicks on the inside, and wear it to bed. It helps you breathe better through the night, so you don't wake up with drool all over your pillow! Also, some companies have come up with those steamless vaporizers that you put eucalyptus oil or Vicks in and it warms the product to the point where it leaves the odor in the air...quite effective if you don't need steam in your house. <*)))><

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.

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.

Dairy products increase mucus formation, so eliminate this from your diet except for low-fat soured products like yogurt and dairy cheese.  Reduce your intake of sugar and salt from your diet.  \n\nIncrease your intake of raw foods-- fruits and vegetables.  \n\nConsume plenty of hot liquids such as soups and herbal teas.  These help the mucus flow, relieving congestion and sinus pressure.  Adding cayenne pepper, garlic, ginger and horseradish to soups or teas may bring even faster relief.\n\nLastly, do not smoke and avoid secondhand smoke.  If you live in a smoggy area, consider getting an air purifier.

I have had a really bad cough this past week and the only natural remedy that has worked for me is a humidifier and drinking lots of water to make the cough more productive and to also make the cough not so dry to where it hurts so bad to cough!\nI know that's a runon sentence, oh well, but I think you got my point!

Honey is a good, natural antioxidant, and antibiotic, and herbal teas will help, the herbs as well as the steam moisturizing your sinuses.\nCitrus boosts your immune system, and gives you the C and bioflavanoids your body needs.\n\n Avoid cross-reactive foods such as honeydew, cantaloupe, watermelon, banana and chamomile.\nHere's a website with some common sense ideas to help you get through allergy season.

Get this stuff at the health food store called Quercetin. It is a sinus soother and a bioflavanoid. It is better for you than anything OTC. Trust me, I used to be allergic to everything and was on 11 different pills. Cut them all cold turkey and started taking Quercetin on the advice of a physician. Now I am healthy :)
