Answer 1

This is a million dollar question........You can try OTC Clairtin in a generic form. This will work as well as any thing.

Answer 2

Runny and stuffy nose can be caused by a head cold, allergies, or a number of other reasons. The best thing I believe for you to do is get an over the counter medication like Sudafed Cold and Sinus and see if that works for you. Claritan 12 hour or Claritan D 24 hour also works well.

Answer 3

I get oil of oregano at the health food store. You make sure you blow your nose good then put a drop on a q tip and swab it around in your nostrils and also put a drop on your finger and rub it on your face where your sinus cavities are (do not get it in your eyes) and put about 3 drops under your tongue. It's a little pricey but it goes a long way, cheaper in the long run.

Answer 4

Well I'm not a dr or pharmacist, but you may need a decongestant such as sudafed. I believe that sudafed actually needs to be purchased at the counter now since the ingredient in it can be used in meth (crystal meth, a potent illegal drug) labs. Please do talk with a licensed professional about which medicine though.

Answer 5

Inhale salt water through your nose. Works like salt water does for sore throat. The salt water helps flush out the nasal passages.

Answer 6

Ask the pharmacist in your local store.Its hard to say what to take cause i don't know what your allergic too and what you can take and how old you are,so I'm leaving this question alone.

Answer 7

benadryl ( sorry for spelling) is good comes with day/night pills
