Anyone else suffering from allergy and or sinus issues. I just bought some
Specific medication that I hope will help me. My issue is not real bad yet because I started off taking
the cough syrup for multi symptons and that helped. There are a lot of people at
my place of employment that are worst.
How are you dealing with it?
-
I have had HORRIBLE allergies this entire year.... seems to only be getting worse and not better! Zytec is my med I use- and even that's not working!!!
-
This has been a terrible allergy year. Some regions are worse for allergies than others. I live in S.Jersey which has a reputation for being terrible for those who suffer from allergies.
Many years ago I used to take allergy shots but my doctor said my allergies had improved so I do not need them any more(yah!). I take Zyrtec. It is expensive put fortunately it comes in a generic.
-
I've been dealing with sinuses and chest congestion all year. I don't know what's causing it and medications aren't working.
-
I have sinus issues and they drive me crazy.
-
I have this junk every year, at the same time. I take over the counter meds that do little to help. It drives me nuts.
-
Yes, year round. It wasn't so bad when I was living in Utah but then 2 years ago we moved to Colorado and it's been worse. I think it's because there's no humidity here. The thing that is helping me right now is some store brand cold medicine. It has some acteaminophen, nasal decongestant, and an antihistamine. Oh and it's the day time stuff. The night stuff works really well if your nose is what's keeping you up. I would also recommend a neti pot.
-
I keep trying a different over the counter meds
-
For some reason drinking tea helps me
-
I have both. Sinus and allergy. I have allergy during spring season. My sinus always around December when it is very cold. It is very annoying. I know someone who had surgery to fix this problem.
-
Mine are under control this year and it is great, not crying all the time.
-
Don't have allergies right now... The way I deal with it is avoid going out at days of high pollen or the day after it rains
-
OMG, I have been having terrible sinus headaches the past 4 days.
Thinking about going to the doctors to get some proper meds since the other the counter stuff isn't working too great.
-
It's been bad for both my wife and myself these past few days. She's feeling it worse than I am.
-
No. I am sorry for you though. That has to be awful!
-
Been having sinus headaches for past 3 days, usually Aleve cold & sinus works great for me but not doing much this time. I saw this topic & was hoping to find something that definitely would work.... :)
-
The only thing I can take is the zyteric and have had to double the dosage. They have really been bad this year with all the weeds we have had. Had a lot of rain and in some areas the weeds were and still are over 8' tall and now with the mold that come along with the dying weeds and grass it is bad. The shots help but not mas much as hey used too. Oh well guess I will live with it even though sometimes I wonder.
-
My husband is having allergies. Trying over the counter medicine but not working. Already more then a month ! :'(
-
Gosh yes. I have had a sinus infection going on 3 months now. One nostril burns at times, I hear crackling noises and occasionally get a wiff of a smell. I have tried everything from otc sinus medications, antibiotics and even the neti pots. Nothing has worked for it.
-
Yeah, my youngest son suffers from allergies for a good 6 months of the year and we do need to keep on top of it because his allergies sometimes trigger his asthma. However for the last 6 months his doctor has placed him on a steroid inhaler and this, together with his allergy medications, seems to have really helped his condition. I think he's only needed his inhaler about twice in the last month, which is superb.
-
as i get older it gets worse :sad1:
-
My congestion seems chronic...It gets worse at certain seasons. I learned to live with it.
-
I have sinus problems and I take drugs to control it.
-
Meds alone will not work. Wear a face mask and apply some Vicks at the entrance of you nostrils. Vicks will stop particles entering your respiratory system.
-
Not yet but its been so wet lately so nothing can really get kicked up outside the insides so clean nothing bothers me
-
wake up with a stopped up head usually take claritin.
-
This is the first year that I have had any problems. Tried a few things over the counter, but no success.
-
I don't but my husband gets it bad in the spring.
-
We have started having Santa Ana winds, they always seem to get my sinuses going. I have been fighting a little bit of a cold, so that just made it worse. The winds are suppose to be gone today, so I am hoping for the best.
-
I'm a we bit shocked im not suffering from allergy problems right now. Only time i don't deal with allergy's is winter
-
My fiance does, he takes OTC meds for them....and flonaze
-
i havent had a problem yet this year thank goodness!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
-
I have bad sinus and very dry skin during this season.
-
I take over the counter meds sometimes, drink a lot of tea with lemon and honey some seasons are worst then others, but at least I do not need to take prescription medication, I use a steam inhaler with vicks sometime and that helps.
