If you decide to use a spray or pill to clear your sinus be sure to read the ingredients carefully. Many will raise your metabolism and heart rate which would be counterproductive to your freediving. Some also have banned substances if you are planning to compete.
I used to get lots of sinus squeezes but have managed to eliminate them for the most part. I use a neti pot to flush my sinuses the night before and morning before a dive. It's a little odd at first, but once you get used to the sensation it leaves your head feeling clean and open.
Also, if you're stuffed up try sucking it back and spitting it out. Gross I know, but if you blow your nose you tend to force the mucus up into your sinuses.
