Co-sign on the hot stuff and the saline spray. Saline is good because it isn't medicated, and you can use it all day long.
Also, take a really HOT shower, or just hold your head over a steaming bowl of water (covering your head with towel so that you can trap the steam). That'll at least keep things moisturized so you won't feel quite so uncomfortable...
I hope you're feeling better soon!
