I’ve been on meds that wreck my immune system and so I get sick a lot. Every time I start feeling the smallest tickle of an upper respiratory virus I start doing the following: 1. Gargle with salt water 3x a day 2. Use saline nasal rinses 2x a day

I still get sick a lot, but haven’t needed antibiotics in all the years I’ve kept to this routine.

For your nasal rinses I hope you're using a "rhino horn" and not an expensive solution sold in pharmacies. Since I discovered it I rinse my nose much more often and more abundantly, and it's great (and waaaay cheaper than alternatives).
