I started doing stuff like steaming; later adding the blue Mentholyptus (strongest) cough drops to the pot.
(Thanks "Electric Horseman" movie!)
Both esp adding the cough drops definitely reduced length, and sometimes the worst symptoms.
Gotten it usually on both sinuses at the same time.


About 25 yrs + ago I found (Boiron) homeopathic tablets for sinus problems. As soon as my initial symptom started - a sore throat I'd start using them.
Oh they helped so much ! Even more reduced length, and usually severity - often letting me have one open nostril at night for easier sleeping.

I don't think I had one on a few years even before covid. I'd reduced getting them from 2-4 X's/year to once every 9 months to 1 1/2 years.

Have had none these covid years either!


Good Luck! 👍
