Talk to your doctor about oral decongestants.  Sudafed as an example, others
are by prescription.  Talk to your doctor about antihistamines.  I don't
generally reccomend them, nor am I now, but it's worth a discussion with the
doctor.

Treat your allergies directly.  Control your environment as best you can,
get shots if you test positive.

Stop drinking alcohol while you have symptoms.  Stop smoking permanently.
Try to get a little exercise daily, but respect your allergies and the way
you feel.  Don't exercise during times that you are clearly having a
reaction.  Seek times of the day, or indoors, or outdoors to exercise in
when your allergies are lowest.

There are lots of things to do....

the Hydro Pulse does not work as a hose that is put into your sinus or is
directed at the eustachian tube. It works by removing thick mucus, by pulsing
cilia so that the cilia work to restore proper drainage and nasal function. It
also works by displacing mucus and pus in the sinuses by displacement - not as
a hose stuck in the sinus.
In other words. it is not a direct washing that helps, it is restoring the clia
so they can do the work they are supposed to do.
In our practice, where we specialize in Scuba Divers with ear problems,
pulsatile irrigatin has been very useful.
Incidentally the flow does bathe the eustachian tube but that is not the
theraputic action. It is the restoration of cilia movement with flow of normal
mucus that helps the eustachian tube recover.
by the way, a number one reason for failure of clearing a blocked ear is
blowing the nose too hard. That's like rubbing your eye too hard.
