Help with nasal allergies?

Question

I have had nasal allergies for years that are getting worse. It feels like there are little bugs crawling around in my nose. If i roll over in bed, bend over or touch my nose it is automatic sneezing, and I am talking a lot 20-30 in a row. I take a lot of benedryl tabs that do help for a few hours. Is there something that I can spray into my nose that will relieve this crawlin sensation that i have in there. I really do not want to use something with neosynepherine in it as it tends to make my heart race and makes me feel wierd. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

I suggest using a different antihistamine pill regularly... I know benadryl (Dipenhydramine) doesnt work as effectively for me as Chlor-Tripolon( chlorphenamine) which is actually better at treating the nasal part of allergies and completely gets rid of the itchy nose feeling (I know all about that I also sneeze 20 times in a row not just once) Reactine(Cetirizine hydrochloride) and Claritin(Loratadine). These work way better that Benadryl does and Reactine can be taken in the morning and it lasts 12-24 hours and keeps that itchy nose away... I have tried nasal sprays but they seem to make the itchy nose worse... I suggest trying one of the different antihistamines I mentioned because there is always one that is better suited to each individual.

YESSSSSSSS!!! Go and get a saline wash. there are various ones in the CVS, WalMarts, Walgreens.... it's good old fashioned "granny" remedy!! it's been around forever and it works!

here's the jist -- you use a salt solution into a bottle and use distilled water - you squirt it up one nostril and it comes ou thte other. look it sounds gross and trust me - to some extent it is but.... it works GREAT at cleaning and flushing out the sinus's!! when mine get horrible dry and cracked - i put some noesporin on a q-tip before bed and use that too -- i know it's for external use only but.... it works for me.
