What can be done at home to relieve sinus pain?

Warm, moist air from a vaporizer or steam from a pan of boiled water (removed from the heat) can help sinus congestion. Humidifiers should be used only when a clean filter is in place to avoid spraying bacteria or fungal spores into the air. Warm compresses are also helpful to reduce pain in the nose and sinuses.

Saline nose drops are also helpful in moisturizing nasal passages.
