If any of you also have sinus allergies
Any ideas what I can take/do to help in the mean time?
Not sure if any of you also have sinus allergies, but I’m having a hard time over here. I am off all of my allergy medicine until Wednesday for testing, and I can’t sleep bc I am having post nasal drip causing me to cough 😫 he said I could still use my Flonase but it’s not quite cutting it. Any ideas what I can take/do to help in the mean time? I am sleeping ( or not really sleeping) in the recliner to keep elevated. I have some codiene cough syrup but don’t think that will really help with this type of cough. I’m drowning in snot!

I have sinus allergies too! Sometimes Sudafed and/or a netti pot helps me.

Jackie Best Crowe oooooh I didn’t think about doing the sinus rinse. I will try that and see if it helps. I live in a bad areas for seasonal allergies

Get a purmist! It’s a hospital grade steam treatment and works wonders. You can get it at Target or Amazon. So worth the money!

Jennifer Wallace Scott I was wondering the same thing I’m having a skin allergy test on Thursday do I need to stop taking all my meds
Jennifer Wallace Scott
Laurie Newman yes I was told to stop for a whole week. It’s been a fun few days 😫
Jennifer Wallace Scott
Well he said I could keep taking singulair and Flonase and he put me on prednisone to battle the hives until then.
Laurie Newman
Jennifer Wallace Scott I didn’t know that I’m freaked out now to I definitely feel your pain
Laurie Newman
I can’t take prednisone it gives me migraines
Jennifer Wallace Scott
I’d def call tomorrow if you’ve still been taking them.
Laurie Newman
Jennifer Wallace Scott yes I’m gonna call tomorrow I hope it doesn’t mess anything up I’m still taking Allegra it says to stop taking it I was reading about it a week before your test
Jennifer Wallace Scott
Laurie Newman I think 5 days was the minimum. Did you take it today?
Laurie Newman
Jennifer Wallace Scott I just called my allergist they said they are not going to do the skin test they’re only gonna do blood test I could stay on my medication
Jennifer Wallace Scott

Laurie Newman

A sinus rinse might help. Or just saline nasal spray.
Gwen Joan Irvine
I have sinus issues too. Didn’t really think the two were linked. Maybe they are.
