## I have been a Nasal Crom user since Oct. o7. Began using it as a treatment of outdoor mold allergy. This was on my own. My allergy caused chest congestion, fast irregular heartbeat and Afib. This spray has been like magic. Nothing else had given me any relief. We live in Salt Lake City and it is terrible for outdoor mold. Even in the winter--it snows quits drys wind blows and I am in the doctors office. ## My husband just started using NasalCrom for chronic cough that he has had for years. The doctors had tried everything including sinus surgery, prescription sprays, mucinex, nasal rinses, etc. etc. The pulmonary doctor finally said he was giving up but to try NasalCrom. The cough stopped almost immediately. We feel it is truly a miracle after all these years of misery. ## Wow! I am ...

difficulty breathing through my nose. No watery eyes, coughing, runny nose or other problems related to allergies. Simply can's get enough air. Problem cause slight dizziness and orientation. Use Saline Nasal spray frequentally, but get only sligh relief. ## Have you consulted a doctor? If you have had problems with allergies in the past, it is possible that your sinus membranes are swollen and may require medical treatment to try and bring them back to normal. That happened to me, when I was younger and my allergies hadn't been diagnosed for many years. Another possibility is nasal polyps, which can block the air flow and would also require medical intervention.

Ibuprofen + Pseudoephedrine

Pseudoephedrine (PSE) is a sympathomimetic drug of the phenethylamine and amphetamine chemical classes. It may be used as a nasal/sinus decongestant, as a stimulant, or as a wakefulness-promoting agent[4] in higher doses.[5] It was first characterized in 1889, by the German chemists Ladenburg and Oelschlägel, who used a sample that had been isolated from Ephedra vulgaris by the Merck pharmaceutical corporation of Darmstadt, Germany.[6] The...

My nose continues to stuff up even after taking my prescribed drug, Clindamycin. I am taking three 150 mg doses every 8 hours, with some relief. ## Clindamycin is an antibiotic, as listed by MedlinePlus, it is used to treat bacterial infections, by itself,, it will not help alleviate nasal congestion. It may also cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, diarrhea, non-allergic skin rash, and headache. If your congestion is due to an issue, such as a sinus infection, it will take several days of taking this, in order for you to start seeing some improvement. How long have you been taking it? Are you on any other medications?

I have continuous throat infection... even antibiotics dont work. I have been taking monticope once in three days which gives me a bit of relief.

I am wondering if anyone has taken more than 180 mg of Allegra daily and lived to tell about it?! Just kidding about that last part. I have a particularly bad case of post nasal drip and I DO get some relief from the 180. However, I am considering trying half a tab (90 mg) at night to get more relief. I KNOW what the recommendation is...I am just wondering. Has anyone tried it? ## Actually, if you're currently taking that much and still have post-nasal drip, then it's most likely time to try something else, rather than more of the Allegra. What other allergy medications have you tried? There are others on the market, some are available over the counter and some by prescription. Have you talked to your doctor about it? What are you allergic to? ## When it comes to prescription me...

Every single day I wake up and spend about 5 minutes hacking up thick, yellow mucus. It is so thick it keeps me from swallowing and even blowing my nose. I have been to 3 Odontologists and no one has been able to help me. I have tried a number of nasal spays and prescription medications with no success. In contrast my nose runs excessively to the extent that I blow my nose on paper towels instead of tissues. Mucinex doesn't help either. I am desperate for some relief. Can someone help me? ## Have you tried an ENT, or an allergist/immunologist? It may not be directly related to your teeth, or an abnormality there. Allergies can cause the same type of symptoms and that would be outside the realm of an Odontologist. Additional question, do you smoke? ## No, I don't smoke. I have ha...

I have been taking antihistamines for nasal allergies the past 2 years. Is it normal or abnormal to be using them for so long. ## What has your doctor advised on this situation? There is really no cure for allergies, so when people suffer from them, they may require treatment with something regularly to prevent the problems and symptoms that arise from them. ## I have seen numerous doctors . Each time I tell them of my allergy they prescribe some medicine for immediate relief. One doctor increased my dosage. Due to situation I did continue to take the antihistamines on my own to get relief.
