Second the neti pot for congestion issues. The Texas Hill Country area is one of the worst places in the US for seasonal allergies, literally everyone has problems this time of year and early spring.

The neti pot is definitely something you have to learn and acclimate yourself to (very unnatural feeling), but nothing works better for clearing up congestion. Usually using it twice a day for 2-3 days is enough to clear you out enough to function normally. And it's cheap...usually under $2 for a kit at the drugstore.
