I sneeze a lot, nasal discharge +++ and when I sniff taste of blood/iron in the throat. Itchy eyes. No fever or cough. What to do?

Question

Hello! I do the sinus rinse at least once a day and it helps moisturize my nose, but I still blow my nose so much. In the last 5 days or so, I've started to get an iron/bloody taste in my throat all the time because my nose is always running and sniffling. I can't sleep at night because my nose is just running and I sneeze all the time. I started taking one Aerius capsule every day, but I don't see any change. (I have never had allergies before) So my question is, what should I do or take as a medication? Could it be a sinus infection? Thank you

Good evening ma'am, What exactly is your question? Also, have you had any allergies in the past? Finally, have you ever tried using the Sinus Rinse™? Thanks for those details. It's possible that it's an infection, yes. But in the absence of a fever and considering it's only been 5 days since you've had symptoms, we should wait before consulting. In the meantime, I would recommend doing the Sinus Rinse twice a day, taking great care to use the technique described here . You should see improvement in less than 2 days. For allergy pills, it may take 2 weeks to see a good effect. Keep taking them until then. If it doesn't change your symptoms, I recommend stopping them. Happy day :) Alexandre Chagnon, pharmacist
