Although I am kind of ogling nicer masks on etsy. Also, what does anyone know about desloratadine? Is it a good alternative to switch to when my immunity to loratadine kicks in? It's just about the only thing that will unstuff my head and nose, especially when used in conjunction with a Neti pot.
Best answer: brutal post-nasal drip and eases the irritated throat although I still often take cough drops and must watch humidify levels. I get this sometimes, due to pollen and leaf mold.
I take nettle extract, which works extraordinarily well. I take an eyedropper of it in water at night when I've allergies, and again in the morning. This may not be an appropriate dosage for other readers posted by sebastienbailard at AM on October 22, I've been round and round with allergy medication for well over a decade now, trying to alight on some sort of combination that works. Loratadine never seemed to be effectivefor me: an immense frustration because if its low cost.
Finally, in the last six months, with some good doctorin' advice, I finally seem to have found a regime that really works: fexofenadine pills and nasonex spray. I'd echo what others have said upthread: after suffering from all manner of allergy related nonsense for years, this combination has really been effective for me.
I don't feel like Allegra is quite the same as it was when it was prescription-only, but when paired with Advil, it is great for cutting down on the amount of puffiness and internal inflammation of the nasal passages that come with incessant allergy symptoms. Sudafed or Allegra-D alone do not work as well for me. Obviously, this isn't something to take every day, but it helps me stay together during the worst of allergy season. I have had a Flonase nasal spray thing, but it turns out I hate applying it so I never used it.
Some of this really is trial and error. My therapist, who is a doctor but not really that kind of doctor, but is a long term health nut and looks great at 72, fwitw swears by butterbur posted by Jacen at AM on October 22, My allergist recommended this nasal spray combination to me, and it is amazing -- you know how well Afrin works, but you can only use it for a few days or you get the rebound thing?
With the Nasacort, the rebound doesn't happen, so it just works and continues to work, forever. Nasal passages almost always totally clear, which I've never had before in my life. Best answer: I also get immune to antihistamines. I decided to alternate medicine. So now I take Claritin and Zyrtec on alternate days. Both pills have roughly a 24 hours effective range so it's easy to maintain the regimen. I've been doing this for about a year and it's working great for me.
I also use fluticasone, the generic of Flonase. It seems to work better for me and doesn't cause nose bleeds. A tip on cost: Get a CostCo membership if you can. They have the lowest prices on Claritin and Zyrtec I've seen.
I took it every day, year-round. Important note: I was taking regular Claratin, not the decongestant kind -- Claratin D gave me insomnia. The same goes for your clothes. Dykewicz advises. It can be hard to resist the allure of a warm spring breeze once the temperature rises, but opening your windows when seasonal allergies are at their peak is like giving pollen an open invitation to invade your living space and cause allergy symptoms.
Keeping your windows closed and using an air conditioner with an allergy filter can be an effective way of treating allergies and may help you breathe better, says Dykewicz. Drinking any type of alcohol increases blood flow to the linings of your nose and can make nasal allergy symptoms worse, notes Dykewicz.
Odors such as chlorine from a swimming pool and strong perfumes can irritate the nasal airways and lungs and make you cough. Irritants such as perfume and dyes in cosmetics and cleaning products can also cause an allergic skin reaction, known as contact dermatitis.
Dermatitis can cause a rash and lead to itching, which will make your other allergy symptoms feel even worse. Humidity promotes the growth of dust mites, Dykewicz explains. The best thing for treating allergies from dust mites is dry air. So if you suspect a dust mite allergy, stop using your humidifier and see if your symptoms improve. People with seasonal allergies often have antibodies that can cause their immune system to overreact to certain foods. This phenomenon is called cross-reactivity.
These problems may only occur during the season in which your allergies are at their worst. Regardless of the season, help minimize your allergy symptoms by keeping all these triggers in mind and avoiding them as much as possible. By subscribing you agree to the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.
