Whatever else you do, also use a Neti Pot. It will help. It isn't a solo remedy

Or dont if you dont want to risk brain parasites. Just hit the chicken noodle and sleep and take some vitamin C

I've never used a neti pot. Is it hard to do? Seems like I'd waterboard myself.

For symptoms use Sudafed (the real stuff you have to get from the pharmacist)
