[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 585991, member: 7083"] Your allergies sound just like my difficult child's. She has tried Nasonex which made her more stuffy. They put her on Flonase which helped at first, but then made her more stuffy. She has been prescribed a different nasal antihistamine medication, but I can't remember what it is. She said it tastes horrible and won't use it anymore - I guess the taste from running down her throat. Oral allergy medications (Claritin, Zyrtec, Benadryl, etc) and Sudafed (behind the counter version) do nothing for her. I think Mucinex might help her because it does thin the mucus, but the pills are too large for her. She does a lot of saline nasal spray, Ayr Gel, a cool mist vaporizer, etc. She's also had sinus surgery and 2 sinus CT's. At this point, she is being sent to an allergy specialist because they don't know what else to do because with everything she does, her nasal passages are still swollen most of the time. They have ruled out infection - that was taken care of when she had surgery. Good luck. I have allergies, but mine are of the sneezing, itchy eyes, throat, and ears variety. [/QUOTE]
