Sinuses~Zyrtec~Vicks

I have been on Zyrtec for 6 months now.  When I had first gone on it, I had a sinus infection for over 9-10 mos(too much going on/unable to get to the doctor..office not working-mother friendly...) ~ the Doctor had put me on two doses of anti biotics and Zyrtec.  It was great at first ~ for the first time in years I was able to smell everything.  That has since gone by the wayside, and now I am battling another sinus infection, and am on Arythromiacin(spelling..??..)..since yesterday.  My nose is totally stuffed up, and I am unable to breath.  I have tried nasal flushes, saline drops, sinus sprays, etc ~ to no avail.  I sort-of remember someone telling me to put Vicks up my nose ~ have looked for info on the net about it, but no recommendations.  I have ut a little up my nose, and it seems to be giving some relief, but wondered if it was ok, and how much/often it can be done for relief. (No, I haven't gone to the doctor again, called in for a scrip which he filled thankfully...would love to OD on the biotics in hopes of killing the stuffiness and pain, but know better...).....any help would be MUCH appreciated!!
