My nose is completely blocked and I have trouble sleeping because of this?

Question

I suffer from severe seasonal allergic rhinitis. Despite Claritin antistamines and nose washes, my nose is completely blocked and I have trouble sleeping. Are there any effective drops to relieve my congestion? Thank you very much

Hello sir! If Claritin is not effective at all, it would be advisable to try another one like Aerius. I recommend continuing nasal hygiene as often as necessary during the day . If possible, avoid going outside when the allergen index is high, dry and windy. When you go indoors, change your clothes. Avoid keeping windows open, especially on windy days. Finally, I invite you to ask your pharmacist to see if a corticosteroid spray would be appropriate for you (available at the back of the pharmacy counter) Sincerely Tom Samaha, pharmacist
