Prevent colds: Good hand washing. Don't share food or drinks with people, consider nasal saline irrigations.

Keep nose clear: Rinsing nose with saline solutions such as neil med rinse, followed by nasal steroid spray can help. Determining whether you have significant allergies that cause nasal and sinus congestion can also lead to more choices to prevent sinus infections.
