Pam, just watch the space between his eyes and especially at the top, over his eyes, on the skull and make sure you don't see it swollen. It shouldn't feel very hard and you should be able to move the skin back and forth. You can try it on your other dog to see the difference, if the sinus's get too swollen. If that should happen, or he gets worse then you may have to call the Vet. Worse scenario is they put him in a nebulizer, it's like an incubator. I too had once heard not to use vaporizers, on dogs, but I can't remember why. The Vicks is a no-no. Not sure about the lemon either.

I know how hard that is when you have a cold. His little mouth keeps opening and closing like a little fish. The nose drops helped a little but can only give once a day.
