Using a netti pot (which where I live, one can get at Walgreens), can help drain your sinuses. Using one sounds weird, but they do help get rid of your congestion.

Lots of garlic in a soup also helps as does drinking lots of fluids.

Too late for this remedy, but remember it the next time: At the first sign of a cold, take extra zinc as well as echinacea. Also eat cashews, though, because zinc depletes your body’s copper supplies, but cashews boost your copper.

Spend time in a steamy shower also will help clear your sinuses.
