Common Questions and Answers about Singulair and nasal congestion

singulair

Avatar n tn Hello. I have been suffering from the worst seasonal allergies in my life this year. I have itchy watery eyes, nasal congestion, and scratchy throat. I haven't been sleeping well at night for the past 3 weeks because of the nasal congestion and have been waking up with a nasty dry mouth in the morning. I have tried benadryl, claritin 24 hrs tablets, zyrtec (also 24 hr tablet), nasal spray (some kind of anticholinergic solution), Singulair and phenylephrine so far.
Avatar n tn I have had allergy problems all my life and have tried almost every medication out there (OTC and prescription) until I was prescribed Singulair which worked. But, I lost my health coverage and stopped taking it for almost a year. I was recently put back on it (about a month ago) because I have been quiet sick for over 2 months now. The doctors said it was allergies, but I'm starting to wonder because the Singulair should be working in full by now, and I'm still sick.
Avatar m tn Xray for the sinus and chest were also ordered which resulted to bilateral nasal congestion and clear chest. The problem is, I have been experiencing symptom of dizziness. Its been a month now and I could not take it anymore. As if I am floating always. Please, could you help me with my concern?. . Thank you in advance.
Avatar f tn I have the same problem, pain in the lower chest it seems. I take symbicort and singulair. Does anyone know if this Zithromycin treatment works?
920032 tn?1550680156 All those do is dry up the mucous and drainage - post nasal drip. I use it and love it. Singulair is a leukotriine modifier. That is one of the many chemicals involved in allergic reactions. As far as which is better, that would be hard to say. They have totally different purposes. Some people say that Singulair has little effect, while I won't miss a dose without having an attack.
Avatar m tn Symptoms start with headache followed by congestion in my nose, nasal dripping in back of throat and chest congestion. The congestion builds to the point where I can't talk or difficult for people to understand me. When I call the doctor he prescribes a 7 day course of antibiotic and I am better for about 30 to 45 days. I work with pulmonary doctor who sees me for asthma and I use Advair 500/50 along with Allegra D and Singulair and I do regular sinus rinses.
Avatar f tn ” With “never drainage/congestion/fever” and “never gets congestion, sneezing, post-nasal drip, etc” and a borderline normal CT scan, the evidence for chronic sinusitis is scant. The American Academy of Otolaryngology (ENT) classifies sinus symptoms as follows: Major: Facial pressure, congestion, nasal obstruction, a runny nose and a reduced sense of smell. And, Minor: Headache, fever, halitosis, fatigue, dental pain, cough and ear pain.
Avatar m tn If nothing natural works or otc meds, you may want to ask your Dr about Singulair or using a steroid nasal spray for awhile .. there are some that are more mild than others and approved for use in kids .. so maybe something like that is a thought. Keep us posted -- so sorry this is going on. You think weeds maybe?
Avatar m tn It is often helpful for the treatment of nasal allergies, its biologic action different than that of antihistamines and inhaled nasal steroids but its actions often complementary to these drugs. It is often effective for the symptoms you describe.
Avatar f tn I have been suffering for four weeks now with post nasal congestion and post nasal drip. I first went to the doctors and was diagnosed with sinus infection and was given antibiotics for 5 days. It got better but gave me a UTI and stomach cramps then when antibiotics were done the congestion and drip was back with the UTI. I was then given 10 days of antibiotics for sinus infection and another antibiotic for UTI. The UTI got better but the congestion stayed.
Avatar n tn Hello, All these symptoms can be related to the nasal polyp because nasal polyps and deviated nasal septum are a source of recurrent sinusitis.I think that you should take a second opinion from another ENT surgeon regarding this.
Avatar m tn Had sudden onset of acute nasal congestion 2 years ago and has been chronic ever since. I originally thought it my be my cats who moved in three months prior but had allergy test which results have been negative. Have seen ENT who looked through scope and found nothing other than inflamation of right turbinate, preformed CT scan of sinus with no sign of infection.
Avatar m tn m suffering from light headaches (in forehead, but exact location differs a lot), post nasal drip (intensity differs) when I swallow and a very low pitched tinnitus. Although I'm not sure when this low tinnitus started and where it came from. I've Always had Pulsatile Tinnitus which is a bit higher pitched and clearly hums on the rhythm of my heart beat, but that one disappears when I lie down, turn my head to the side or push on my neck arteries.
Avatar f tn This will help to relieve the congestion and the symptoms. Singulair is a leukotriene receptor antagonist indicated for relief of symptoms of allergic rhinitis. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
Avatar f tn My daughter takes singulair every night and still has asthma and allergies flare ups. Veramyst nasal spray works best for me and nasonex is ok. I don't know which antihistamine medicine works best, I've tried them all too and they all have a side effect,.
Avatar m tn It causes asthma (Arizona Cypress, Mesquite and Palo Verde are the culprits.) Singulair has helped me very successfully in the past. However, I also take a very low dose blood pressure medication (Lisinopril 20mg). I do not have health insurance and have an alternative source for medications. Would it be advisable for me to purchase Singulair for 3 months to get me through those three months next year. This year was a bit difficult without it.
Avatar m tn m here is to find out if anyone knows if my constant nasal congestion could be caused by my clenching in turn affecting something to be bothering one of my nasal cavities and therefore causing the nasal congestion and then if having this constant nasal congestion would actually be the cause of the enlarged lymph node on the right side of my neck.
Avatar m tn Deviated nasal septum, nasal polyps and tumors can also cause persistent nasal congestion. Worms in stool can raise the eosinophil count (a part of the white blood cell count) and thus increase the possibility of nasal congestion. You’ll have to discuss all these possibilities with your doctor. The nasal passages will have to be examined. Complete blood count and stool test may be required. You may need to get X-rays or CT scans too. Hope this helps.
Avatar f tn I'm only 17 going on 18 And Im 11 weeks and a day and lately out of the 10 and 11th weeks my nose has been so congested. I use a little bit of nasal spray or just use a humidifier and it feels like nothing is getting better at all what should I do?
Avatar f tn I am currently 14 weeks 6 days along in my pregnancy and have been suffering from a combination of allergies and nasal congestion for over 3 weeks. Benadryl helps with my allergy symptoms but does not alleviate my congestion. I have tried a neti pot, breathing strips and humidifier with none working. My doctor has an approved list of decongestants such as Sudafed but could not tell me if it was safe over prolonged use. They just said to follow the directions on the box.
Avatar f tn m thinking it turned into rebound congestion. Some days I have 0 congestion and some days I have some. Recently I started to cut down on the afrin (I went from twice a day to once a day) and I'm using Flonase. I don't have terrible congestion, but enough to bug me. I'm managing though. Recently I looked inside my nose and saw that it was red on the left side along my nasal wall.
Avatar f tn So i knew most women get nasal congestion and also nose bleeding around the beggining of th 2nd trimestrr but im only 7w+4d and every since week5 ive been like this and i still is goin on?? Is it normal this early?? When will it stop??
Avatar f tn Do not use any other nasal spray. If your nose starts running excessively move to an OTC non-drowsy tablet for nasal congestion and take only one tablet a day.
Avatar f tn I have it too. Usually if I keep up with drinking watet and not lay flat, it's not too bad. I'm nearly 8 weeks and I've had it for about a week and a half. I thought it might have been my allergies at first. But it's a general feeling that my nasal passages are swollen.
Avatar f tn 29weeks pregnant and I have a horrible nasal congestion. Its been 3 weeks since it started can't seem to shake it off..it gets worse at night and I can't sleep well because of it..what should I do?
Avatar f tn Has anyone had SEVERE nasal congestion? I've tried meds, nose strips and nothing seems to work. I've even tried the nasal breathe aids you stick inside your nose.
Avatar f tn / everyday with sniffles and runny nose. People ask me if I have a cold I say no but I wish I did so then I know of would go away.
