I can't answer this better than you doctor can, but if you want something over the counter that works well, I've found Maximum Strength Sudafed gellcaps to be the most effective over the counter decongestant,.  I would also add that you should steer clear of over the counter nasal sprays as they are incredibly addictive.

Every doctor will tell you something different. Stick with a medicine that has been around for a long time such as Benadryl or Claritin. I had 4 different doctors for 4 different pregnancies and each one told me something different. Stay away from the newer, unproven ones such as Reactine and Allegra. You could try a nasal spray such as Flonase but your best bet would be to talk to your doctor and see what he/she recommends.

No!\n\nWhy would you take anything that you would be allergic too??\n\nThere are other medications on the market that do not have\nthis ingredient.

pseudoephedrine(generic)/ Sudaphed(brand name)  would be the most effective choice to combat sinus congestion, both the generic and the brand name are equally effective. If you are experiencing rhinorrhea/"runny nose" in addition to the congestion, you would need to take an antihistamine like diphenhydramine/Benadryl to alleviate that symptom. However, diphenhydramine/Benadryl can cause drowsiness. If the congestion is accompanied by pain you might want to try taking an over the counter analgesic like Advil or Tylenol. The medicines I've mentioned are all available over the counter. If these symptoms persist for longer then ten days,  I would recommend making an appointment to see your doctor.

I too have had this problem for years. You get physically addicted to it and can't breathe w/out it. Well , I would 1st go to your doctor adn he/she will give you a percription nose spray. It won't work as well or as quickly as the one you use now, but be deligent in using it everyday twice a day. I ended up having surgery on my nose because my septum(the cartilidge in the middle of your nose) caved in on one side. Not good. I was off it for a few years able to breathe on my own, but am now back to using it again. I need to take my own advice and go back to the doctor and get a Rx. Please try this before it goes too far. It does say on the bottle not to use it for more than 3 days in a row, but they don't tell you how badly the results are. I wish you luck!!

Ephedrine is no more an over the counter drug in most US states. Yes, you should be careful with it if you are taking it. \nMost drugs like anti inflammatory or anti pyretic -- ibuprofen and tylenol should be fine. Tums, gas medicine, and medicine in that order should be fine.  \nBut when it comes to cold medicines which have anti-histamines be very careful, they may interact with any medicine he might be taking for Mitral valve  prolapse(MVP)\nWhen in doubt always call your doctor and check. Better careful than sorry.

Sometimes.\n\nNot all therapies we call homeopathic are the extreme dilutions that would probably be harmless when combined with allopathic medications.\n\nSome naturopathic drugs (such as St John's Wort or Gingko Biloba) can interfere with how your body handles allopathic medication.\n\nAlways tell your doctor about ALL the medications you are using, including natural medicines and over-the-counter medicines so that he/she can take into account how safe a medication prescription would be for you.

It depends on the allergy.  If you're sneezing, maybe something like Claratin.\n\nMy son has some food allergies, and we give him Benadryl.  Benadryl is an all-around allergy relief medicine.

Cortisone shots, Prednisone, etc.

I reality, you can treat the end result of allergies with Prednisolone steroid type I and Type II. The doctors will actually prescribe a separate drug for sinus infections, which may have as many as twenty-five root caused. There was an interesting article in the January, 1995 AMA Journal on this very subject my friend.\nGood Q\nGood luck

When my hubby and I first got married, we lived in a dusty little apartment. Well, my nose was constantly stuffy. I started using a nasal spray as well, and even after my cold symptoms disappeared, I couldn't live without the spray. At night, my nose would always become stuffy. I really think I became addicted to the spray. Well, eventually, I had to stop cold turkey. But now, if I get a cold followed by runny nose, I use "Simply Saline." It is the best. It clears the nose, moisturizes, and is non-habit forming. I am no doctor, and your friend certainly needs to make an appointment to see his, but I would recommend that you tell your friend to stop using the spray and use "Simply Saline." It is nothing but pure saltwater. It will clear his nose just as effective as his current spray.

Pseudoephedrine and a saline sinus rinse.

U should not take both together. Nyquil has a cough suppressant in it so u should only need to take one or the other.

To be on the safe side, I would ask your doctor.  Unless you can find a licensed physician on here answering medical questions for free, you're really taking your health and well-being into a risk zone by obtaining medical advice from possibly untrained people on the internet.  Plus, your doctor will not only know how those two drugs would react to each other but, how they may react to anything else you are taking and how they will effect you for he/she should be well versed on your the condition of your health and the medications you may already be taking or have used in the past.
