thanks for the advice!! maybe I might try those medications..hopefully it'll work.
I would recommend also trying Ocean Spray/Saline.
Friggy gave pretty good advise already.
Don't use Afrin for more than 3 days. Otherwise you'll get a rebound effect, and it makes your nose congested all the time, despite becoming an Afrin junkie.
I'd recommend going to an allergist. In the meantime, sudofed works the best without making you groggy, in case you wish to operate heavy machinery. Next best is nasonex, which works differently.
One cheap solution that works for about half the people that try it is nettle leaf capsules, available at health food stores and Whole foods. The theory, unproven, is that the magnesium content reduces allergic reaction.
