PK,
Sorry to learn you're a serious allergy sufferer. The Neti Pot is an old time assist that I'm using that has helped me a lot. It's a convenient way to flush the nasal passages with warm salt water. I do it every day and it's made a big difference.
It's a method used by our forefathers before all the modern medicines and before the tendency of physicians to write an Rx for every ailment. It dates back to ancient Ayurveda/India days.
My mother had an assortment of neti pots she collected since her youth, some of which are quite beautifully crafted. The collection was one of the few things that my wife wanted of my mom's possessions when she passed away.
Here's a link, and I think you can pick one up at most drug stores.

The pots come in all shapes and sizes, but here's the way most of the old ones I've seen were designed.
