How long will take to fix allergic rhinitis with a mixture of claritin and nasal spray?


My doc said it should take about a week to see an improvement.  (+ info)

Does anyone know how to get rid of allergic rhinitis?


I have tried different medicines, they don't work (Sudafen, Sinutab, etc). I am now addicted to otrivine. It's becoming ridiculous.
----------

I sympathise with you, because as you have discovered - all these medications can have a rebound effect when you have used them for a long time.
I suggest you see an Ear Nose & Throat surgeon who will check whether or not you have an underlying infection and/or abnormality of the sinus cavities (you may have something like a benign polyp for example).
Ask you doctor if he can refer you to an allergist who will be able to de-sensitise you by firstly finding out what you are allergic to and then giving you minute amounts of the allergen by regular injections over a period of time.
I was de-sensitised against house-dust mite years ago and have never had a problem since.  (+ info)

What is the immediate cure for headache due to allergic rhinitis?


The only thing that helps my allergic rhinitis is corticosteroid nasal sprays. Like flonase or nasacort. I also take antihistamines...zyrtec is a good one, so is allegra. Right now allergies are awful because of the budding trees, and all the grass. Good luck, I know how painful it can be.  (+ info)

Whats the difference between sinusitis and rhinitis?


And the difference in their symptoms.
----------

Sinusitis is an infection/inflammation of your sinus cavities. You may also have headache and facial pain over the affected sinus. Rhinitis is an allergic reaction like hay fever. You will also have things like watery itchy eyes and a runny nose.

Sinusitis produces thick greenish yellow phlegm when you blow your nose. Rhinitis discharge is just clear and watery.  (+ info)

One of my nostrils is almost always blocked. Is it rhinitis and how should I treat it?


My nose constantly have mucus in it, and I can't sneeze it out. I'm trying to find out if there's any kind of treatment?

Anything is helpful!!
I use Nasonex, will that work?

And where do I get a saline solution?
----------

Try some over the counter decongestants. Either the 4 hour Sudafed PE or 12 hour Sudafed ones work great, I find the 12 hour ones more convenient because then I just take one a day (don't take decongestants at night or you'll probably have trouble sleeping). Since you can't sneeze it out, you will want to take an antihistamine also to help clear up your sinuses. For my own year-round allergies, I have tried several and found Zyrtec to work the best of all of the antihistamines, but you may find another one that works better.

Also, you may want to consider getting a Neti pot to clean out your sinuses with a saline solution. You pour the solution in one nostril and it goes out the other. It hurts like heck the first few times, but the instant results are worth it.

If that's not your cup of tea, just holding a hot wet wash cloth up to your sinuses for a few minutes helps things in there loosen up a bit, then you should be able to blow some of the mucus out. It's not as effective, but it still helps.

Also, saline nasal spray helps a little to clean things up there; pretty much the same concept as the Neti pot, except the nasal spray doesn't force the mucus out so it's not nearly as effective.   (+ info)
