  - Drink lots of water as it will thin the mucus in your sinuses
  - Breathe in moist air from a humidifier or hot shower or a sink filled with hot water
  - Gargle with hot water to prevent a sore throat if you have a post-nasal drip
  - Take over-the-counter medication for the treatment of headaches
