Most houses are set up at 35% humidity. It sounds like you're close to this, so you should notice a difference. As far as your health is concerned, and as a fellow individual who suffers from sinus infections, I have 2 tips:
1. Get a decent warm mist humidifier for your bedroom and run it at night. Don't get an ultrasonic type, because the filter can break down and become problematic. I have a Crane humidifier.
2. Use a sinus rinse system like the Neilmed Sinus Rinse system. There are other systems, some elaborate, but the Neilmed was recommended the most by doctors when I did my clinical rotations. Since using it, I've not had a single sinus infection. When my sinuses start feeling bad, I use it daily, until symptoms subside, usually 3-4 days. I also rinse my sinuses after sanding a lot of wood.
It's extremely important to use distilled water.
