I have been taking loratadine 10 mg and Tylenol severe sinus congestion with no relief. I am still going with the idea that it’s an allergy rather than a cold because my mucus is clear and I’m sneezing a lot. I have a trip in two weeks and want this gone!!

Ever since moving to Florida 5 years ago, my allergies have gotten worse than ever, but lately, they’ve been almost unbearable. Store-brand Claritin takes forever to kick in. Is there another pill or a nasal spray that gives more instant relief, and is safe to take a few times a week?

My six year old is truly suffering now that it is allergy season, his eyes are swollen shut each morning and they are red watery and painful. We had this same problem last season and really never reached a solution. The pediatrician recommended an over the counter eye drop which did not work. In addition, we have a prescribed one named patanol. We use Zyrtec and benadryl and neither really provides relief. We also use cold towels and an ice pack. Does anyone have solutions. I am at my wits end, and I ready to ban him from outside play. HELP…. we are both miserable.

I have had headaches for 5-8 years= migraines and sinus headaches, severe sinus pressure, post nasal drip, horrible allergies, continual ear infections/ear aches, some dizziness, and feeling like I’m in a surreal/dreamlike setting, along with most recently some nausea and diarrhea and even vomiting on occasion.
I had a CT scan and i have a cyst and something else the dr. didn’t go into. I see an ENT in a little over a week.
I have been put on a rigorous antibiotic schedule as well as a nasal steroid and allergy/decongestant combo (with little relief, except allergies are better) The current headache has been present for a good solid week if not more.
Wondering what treatments people have done for this and what i should be expecting.

Nasal allergies are caused by inhaled substances. The lining of the nose reacts to these particles by swelling and increasing mucous production which results in a blocked, runny nose.  Nasal allergies are very common in children, and appear to be getting more common all the time.  In Chinese medicine, acupuncture is often used to treat allergies.  However in the United States the most common treatment is over the counter products such as antihistamines and decongestants.
