Get on a nasal spray (Nasonex, Flonase, etc) and use it in conjunction with the pills you're taking along with Neil Med Sinus Rinse.
I was wondering about the nasal sprays. Do those work pretty well?

I have allergies year round from dust, pollen, pet dander, etc., but I don't think I could do that Neti Pot thing.
I take Zyrtec every day and it works great for me, though I suspect you've already tried it.

Yes, but not overnight. They're steroid sprays so it will take consistent usage to get the most benefit. I tell most people with bad allergies to use it until the weather is freezing outside.
Consistent use is the key. My mother has bad allergies, but she won't take medication regularly and won't follow instructions. Then she gets nasty sinus and ear infections and has to go on antibiotics and is miserable for weeks at a time.
Not too bright.
So... sinus rinse.... yes.
Steroid nasal sprays... yes.
Antihistamines/decongestants... yes.
Steroid injections... possibly. For some people, Depo-medrol steroid injections can get you through 4-6 weeks or more of the worst of the allergy season.
As for home remedies, I can't really vouch for any of those. I dunno.
