You could try the use of Aloe Vera Gel by Forever Living Products. I've heard that this helps, but could take up to 12 months. in combination with the Aloe First also by FLP would be even better.\nYou can find out more about these products at www.keosam.com.\nNote that these are not drugs, but natural food supplements that could help you, there are many expiriences where these products helped, so I recomend them to you.

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.

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.

Flax seed helps something, but i am not sure what. My brother has the allergies real bad too, and he is into all that "natural" stuff... I'll ask him and have the answer edited into my post.\n\nIn the mean time, Walmart has the generic Benedryl. 100 pills for less then $4.00 a bottle. It might help...\n\nI'll re-post again soon.\n\nEDIT**********\n\nYep. They are right. Local honey. It will help to aclimate you to the pollen around you. It HAS to be local honey. You should be able to find some at your local grocer, farmer's market, or flea market.\n\nGood luck.

You should go to a doctor to find the reason for your rhinitis. If you say it lasts for months, it might be due to allergy, in which case there are very effective medications that will clear the rhinitis away. \n\nEven if not allergic, there might be a problem that deserves attention, since it's not very common for rhinitis to last for so long.

Mucinex-D over the counter.  It helps thin the mucous and decongests @ the same time.  Back when I was working, it was Rx only and the physicians I worked for Rx'd it all the time...and the patients raved about it!\nHope you feel better soon!

Try oral cromolyn, or a combination of H1 and H2 antihistamines. Talk to your doctor. \n\nBTW, have you been tested for systemic mastocytosis? A lot of people with SM initially were diagnosed with a lot of the same problems... And it takes an average of 10 years for most to get a proper diagnosis.

I used to take Nasonex when I was younger for generalized allergies but it was no longer working. I was then switched to Astelin D and that seemed to work for a while to clear the inflammation in my nasal passages, but then it stopped working as well. I am now taking Nasocort AQ nasal spray and it appears to be helping at this time. I think some medicines work better for some people than others and that is why there are so many on the market. I would ask your doctor (which was prescribed most recently and for what symptoms), or try one for a few days and if it doesn't help, try the other.

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.

Sneezing is a symptom of allergies, but you can take Benadryl for relief of allergies.

Typically nasal congestion is a symptom of a viral infection (ie: common cold) in which case a multitude of nasal decongestants can be used such as sudafed (provided you are not allergic to its ingredients or have any contraindications for use such as high blood pressure).  However, if you suspect that it is related to something such as an environmental allergy (pollen, dust, etc) then an antihistamine such as benadryl (careful it can make you tired) or claritin would help relieve the symptoms.
