try wrapping elastic bands around your thumbs joints (i like to put one on at a time and then switch them when they either turn purple/blue or hurt at all) also sleep propped up so that the drip can drip all night into the back of your throat
try a netti pot, which is a rinse of the sinuses with saline water. see the sinus infection thread for details http://www.hipforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9262 IT WILL GET WORSE FIRST but it will be over in a day or two.
