If you can't get to a doctor, you may have to do some troubleshooting of your own. Is it a sinus infection? Congestion? Problems related to allergies? A reaction to pollution? Until you know the source of the discomfort, you'll only be treating the symptoms.

Neti pot is a great thing to flush the sinuses.

I also think you may want to try cutting out the dairy. Go 2-3 weeks with zero dairy (including cheese, ice creams, etc) just for fun and see if it helps. Some believe there is a link between milk and mucus production.

Take a closer look at your indoor air quality. If it's too dry, a humidifier may help. If it's dusty or polluted, a good air cleaner may help.
