Caring for allergies?

Zyrtec is one of the few things that make a difference. I used it when it was still prescription only. Some people do get tired from it. I don’t. Mucinex will break up mucous so you can cough it up or blow your nose easier. The Zyrtec D will dry up excess mucous that you can’t get rid of. This along with lots of Vitamin C is my cocktail of choice for colds. I only use the decongestant when I have a head cold. Usually I just have the itchy eyes and lots of sneezing, which the regular Zyrtec knocks out pretty quickly. My husband gets sleepy from Zyrtec, so he uses Clariten D, which is better for the pocket book (it has a generic).

Look up Nasal Irrigation. I found that rinsing my sinuses with salt water worked far better than any medications to keep my allergies at bay.

There is a gizmo called Neti Pot that is traditionally used for this purpose but there are also large syringes designed for this purpose.

Whenever my sinues start getting stuffy I start using my Neti pot. I should do it every day to keep from having any allergies at all.

Zyrtec D along with Mucinex.
