Best Answer

A Neti Pot (available at drugstores and health food stores) works very well for sinus congestion and Allergies. It is a small ceramic container, shaped a bit like an Aladin's lamp, that you use for flushing out the nasal passages. You use a saline (salt and water solution), and it helps flush the congestion and any possible allergens (if you have allergies) away. Or you can use a saline spray, available at any drugstore. It's not quite as effective as the Neti Pot, but it does help, and unlike the Neti Pot, it can be taken with you and used anywhere. Both of these can be used as often as necessary, since they are not medications, and you don't have the worry of overdosing on them. The Neti Pot is about $15, and a bottle of nasal spray is about $1.
