Sol,
For something on the more gentle side, can you use steam?  If you can, add
some herbals to a hot steamy pot of water, sit at the table, use a towel for
a tent, and just breathe it in through your nose, that might help.  Maybe
someone on the list can tell you which herbals to add to the water that
would be best to help eliminate the infection and inflammation and soothe
the pain.
 
Or, for a more hardier remedy, you can try one drop of Lugols Iodine and one
drop of DMSO in a couple ounces of saline solution.   Get a saline nasal
spray (OTC at most pharmacies) and use that as a container to which you
would add the above.  Instead of squeezing the bottle you could apply the
solution with a q-tip.  Hope so.
