just asking if histal expectorant can be used to treat sinus condition such as nasal congestion, (stuffiness) ## Histal contains the active ingredient Cetirizine, from what I can find listed, so it is not an expectorant, but an antihistamine, used to treat allergies. That said, if something else is causing the congestion, such as a cold, then it will probably not help. Have you consulted a doctor? ## Histal Expectorant contains Chlopheniramine not ceterizine...you may be better off trying Histal DC if your only issue is congestion.

Does histal antihistamine syrup work for adenoids? My baby is suffering from adenoids. ## Debbie, As a parent my heart is wrenched to hear about this situation. Watching our children suffer is the worst torture imaginable because all we want to do is help make them better. I will start by clarifying something, adenoids themselves are normal in the human body. They are designed to trap germs that enter through the nose, similar to the way that tonsils trap germs that enter through the mouth. It is not entirely uncommon to have to have adenoid removal surgery. I don't want to assume anything but it seems like the situation you find yourself in is that your baby has something wrong with his/her adenoids blocking the airway. If that is the situation you find yourself in then the NIH doe...
