Subject: RE: How do I get rid of this congestion?!?
I had a year of constant sinus infections and could barely drag myself around. I learned this from searching the internet and trials on myself:

1) Set up a steam vaporizer near your bed at night with pure eucalyptus oil. If you can keep it going near you during the day, do that as well. At night is especially important. If you are in a dry climate, humidify your house as much as possible.

2) Roll a hot, wet cloth inside a towel and wrap it around your neck so you have warmth on the back of your neck. You can pop it in the microwave to keep warming it.

3) Irrigate your sinuses gently with warm salt water and the lowest setting of a WaterPik pulsator. Use the tip of a baby nasal aspirator on the water pick, or buy one specially made for sinus irrigation at this website -

4) Sudafed

5) Get a gel mask that you can warm in hot water and place it against your face. The warmth will help your sinuses.

good luck
