I believe you are talking about sudafed - generic name pseudoephedrine.  This is an OTC (over-the-counter) decongestant that can be purchased at any drugstore and will decrease the congestion and swelling of your nasal passages.  As far as limiting nasal secretions, or "stopping post-nasal drip," your best option is to discover the source of your irritation - do you have a virus or other infection causing it?  Do you have allergies to animals or dust that are in your home/office, or are your nasal passages irritated by acid coming up from your stomach?  These are the most common causes for post-nasal drip.  I would recommend you see a physician for your allergies and try hard to eliminate the source of your allergies at home - before you suffer further complications.

My child was diagnosed with this condition. Conventional medical experts pushed medications and said they would be for life.  Go the alternative road.  THere is NO harm in trying.  All of my son's symptoms disappeared when we treated food and environmental allergies.  Get and read the following 2 books used from Amazon: 1. IS THis Your Child, Doris Rapp, MD 2. Food Allergy Cure, Ellen Cutler, MD   Just do it!  You will be glad you didi!

unfortunately this is becoming a law all over, which is a good one, just isnt fair to the honest folk.  there is no medication available then otc containing those ingredients.  i would try using something prescribed for allergies a little better than actifed, that may be stronger and work a little longer.  this you should be able to get from your doctor without any problem.  if claritin or benadry dont work, theres many more to choose from.  clarinex, claritin d, allegra and allegra d, zyrtec(cetirizine)... i could go on, you dont need an rx for the clarinex, claritins.

Severe congestion that has been on-going for 12 months is most likely to be from allergies.  There are quite a few agents: anti-histamines both drowsey and non-drowsey types, decongestants (pseudoephedrine, atrovent), mast cell stablizers, and steriod nasal sprays (there may be others I am not thinking of) can all be used and have varying sucess depending on the person.  Sometimes combinations of medications are used.  \n\nYou may also want to try to isolate what might be causing your allergies.  Pet dander, down comforter, food allergy or some other thing you have contact with every day may be worsening your symptoms.  Of course avoiding contact will help.  It doesn't matter if you didn't used to have an allergy to X, allergies can develop over time.     \n\nUsually this is a condition your primary care provider can address.  If doctors finds on physical exam that you have developed a nasal polyp (a growth on the muscous membrane inside your nose from allergies) then a referral to a specialist is warranted - otherwise this is routine business for any family doctor or midlevel provider.  \n\nI have seen water rinse devices for rinsing your nose/sinuses advertised, but I don't know of any patient who have severe symptoms who achieved relief with the device...save your money.

-Try steam inhalation with a few drops of eucalyptus oil or vicks to clear a stuff nose. \n-Drink hot liquid such as herbal teas and clear soups.

Try an over the counter allergy pill and see if it helps.  Loratadine is the ingredient to look for.  It won't make you sleepy or jumpy.  It should at least reduce your sneezing.

I'm allergic to everything known in the out side world.  My Dr. prescribed Flonase.  Worked like a charm.  You have to use it every day, even if there are no symptoms.  It took about 5 days to get the best results.  If you don't have insurance try the walmart brand of nasal spray, pump action.

There is a OTC medicine called Drixoral. It works really well, as well as Benadryl, or generic Diphenhydramine. If none of those work, you may want to make an appearance at the office of a holistic doctor-he/she will do an allergy test and you may be able to have your reaction to allergens desensitized.

Well finding the mold is a problem but helping your sons allergies is not. Grape seed extract in a large enough dose can eliminate allergies. Start with 2mg per pound of body weight. If you do not see results go up by another mg per pound until you see results. The body has to reach a saturation point for it to work. Most allergies are brought on by a lack of bioflavonoids. When he gets relief from the allergies you can start dropping the dose until the symtoms start to return then just go back up a little and you have souved half the problem. Just be careful with the cleaning products you will be using for the mold. Bleach is a lung irritant along with most of the other products listed. If he already has allergies his immune system is already on the weak side and more chemicals would be bad. When I swiched to non toxic cleaners my whole families health improved and the ones I use not only work better but they are cheaper. Contact me through my 360 page if you want more info.

Wait, babies are coming out of your nose? That sucks. Or do you mean snot? If that's the case, just blow your nose and take an allergy pill.

ive tried them all, claritin, singulair, zyrtec, allegra, flonase...but i have asthma as well so ive noticed that singulair (which was originally just for people with asthma but everyone can use it) works best!\n\nclaritin is the only one you can get without prescription though, but if its something really minor just go with some benydril, the little pink pill that works!\n\n*advair isnt an allergy medication by the way, its an inhailer for people with asthma

You have every right to be nervous. In this type of allergy even the fumes from peanuts, almonds or any nut can be fatal, an allergy is not dose dependant meaning it does not matter how much peanut but simply the presence of them. You have to do what you are doing and take charge because everyone else does not understand and that can be fatal. I hope you have all the antihistamines, and an Epi-pen on hand just in case he does eat peanuts. This will provide a window of time to get him to the ER. In time your son will be old enough to take care of himself, if others around you are so dense, then keep them away from your son. I heard a story about a kid who was extremely allergic and ate a piece of cake with no nuts, but the knife used to cut his cake was used on another cake that did have peanuts. He ate his cake and died, this is not joke a very serious condition. Take care and stand up to the idiots.

Poor thing. Hopefully the chemist is open by now. For the skin I used Aloe Vera Bio Active Gel on my kids, as well as calamine. Cool baths helped. Piriton for the itch. Not sure about the mouth, but you could try ice pops. And lots of calpol/nurofen of course. Hope he's over the worst soon. Hang on in there.

your question is too broad but a good cure for any allergy (nasal or on the skin) is Benadryl.  I used it for hives, an allergic reaction to stress that formed all over my body.

There can be a lot of causes of a 'stuffy nose'.  If you have 'allergic rhinitis' (hayfever), I have seen several patients (including myself and my niece) with an allergy to milk and citrus fruits (these can cross-react).  It can be difficult, but a 3 week avoidance period (must be absolute avoidance - no exceptions) of dairy and citrus products will tell you it that is your problem.\nGood luck!
