i will continue to do it consistently and see if it actually works well

Answer 1

I would just do a saline solution twice daily until the sinus problems are resolved.  Adding herbs such as goldenseal, or the bioflavonoid quercetin can be helpful as well.  Quercetin for allergies and goldenseal for sinus infections as an antimicrobial.  I would be careful about adding anything to your neti pot though.  The saline solution helps wash out antigens and microbes while tonifying the mucous membranes, in time that should be enough.  If the problem is headaches still it may be unrelated to your sinuses and you may benefit from another visit to your doc.
