Common Questions and Answers about Antihistamine nasal mucus
antihistamine
take an OTC antihistamine and use a nasal spray like Ocean Saline Spray. Do not mix antihistamines though such as an oral antihistamine and spray. Ocean Spray does not have an antihistamine and will simply dry you out and is safe to use with an antihistamine.
Hello,
As far as I have understood the query,it seems to be related to phlegm in throat.This may be due to post nasal drip. Post-nasal drip (PND) occurs when excessive mucus is produced by the sinuses. The excess mucus accumulates in the throat or back of the nose. It can be caused by rhinitis, sinusitis, or laryngopharyngeal acid reflux. It can be enhanced or sometimes even caused by allergies.
Pls check out with an ENT specialist if you are having chronic rhinitis or sinusitis.
Obtain needed out-of-door exercise, sunbaths, and swimming. It can also be treated using an antihistamine nasal spray. Antihistamine like benadryl works by blocking your immune system's response to the allergen.
Symptoms can also be relieved by using a nasal spray that contains corticosteroids. Corticosteroids work by helping to reduce inflammation and congestion.
Mucinex just thins the mucus...an antihistamine will help prevent the mucus from being produced in the first place. Try another antihistamine...they each work differently and another one might work better for you.
Hi,
Thanks, I have been taking antihistamine and a nasal cortisone spray but it doesn't really seem to do much to be honest...
It decreases inflammation in the nose and sinuses along with mucus production. When a nasal steroid spray is used regularly it can prevent swollen turbinates. However it does not provide immediate relief of symptoms. It may need to be used every day for several weeks to months to notice improvement in the symptoms. To get the most help from any nasal spray first do a nasal wash to remove mucus from the nose and sinuses.
You should try steam inhalation, saline nasal drops and oral antihistamine medications for your complaints and see if it helps with the symptoms.

Even though it is common for Pug's to have excessive mucus, is there something over the counter that can cut it down? My baby is a chug and she is miserable at night. She licks and licks just air. It is like she has this stuff on her tongue and she can't get rid of it. She only weighs 9 pounds so I have to be careful what I give her. Thanks for any ideas.
Hello,
The most common way to get rid of a stuffy nose is to use an over-the-counter (OTC) decongestant combined with an anti-inflammatory analgesic (pain reliever) like Ibuprofen. However, you should not use decongestants for more than 5-7 days at a time. This is because they can only provide short-term relief for catarrh, and using them for any longer can make your symptoms worse.. Avoid indigestible, spicy, foods and meats. Eat simply of wholesome food.
Ihave been sufferring from sinus problems for long time...ex are facial pressure nasl blockag wihout mucus , mucus dripping at back of throat when waking up from sleep. I had done mri year back and it showed infection in forehead and cyst on left side of face....i am taking nasacort and fexofenadine hcl for months and tried other antihistamine also, but the symtoms persist....i am a liver patient with conginetal hepatic fibrosis and 31 years....liver enzymes r normal....
And obtain needed out-of-door exercise, sunbaths, and swimming. It can also be treated using an antihistamine nasal spray or saline nasal sprays. Symptoms can also be relieved by using a nasal spray that contains corticosteroids. But due to their side effects,it is better to use saline nasal sprays.
The golden rule for chronic stuffy nose is steam inhalation. Inhaling steam from a bowl of hot (but not boiling water) may help to soften, and loosen, the build up of mucus in your nose.
You should take some steam inhalation, saline nasal drops and oral antihistamine medications and see if it helps with your symptoms.
If your symptoms still persist it would be best to consult a doctor and get a proper clinical evaluation done. You would need to rule out the other causes of breathing difficulty including asthma, chest infection, sinusitis, etc.

A quick trip to the doctor and I was told that I had some kind of nasty allergic reaction which clogged my sinuses, gave me a post nasal drip which in turn caused the sore throat and asthma to act up. She prescribed Astelin, a nasal spray antihistamine and described the allergic reaction as a sort of systemic thing and that the astelin should clear it all up. That was Wednesday. I've been using it as told since then and I've only really noticed a very very slight improvement.
It started out as a sore throat, and then it turned into a lot of nasal congestion. I have been taking Mucinex D to clear the congestion, and that has worked well. My problem now is that I have a very wet sounding cough that seems to flare up in the morning when I am getting ready for work and then again in the evening right before bed. I am coughing up mucus, although it is all clear (and has been throughout the entire cold). It just concerns me that the cough is hanging around for so long.
Are there other symptoms present? Thick phlegm or mucus can be caused by a variety of conditions such as infection, post nasal drip and even allergic reaction. Expectorants and drinking plenty of water may help. If it persists, you may need to have this checked by your doctor for proper evalaution. Your medical history, further tests and direct clinical examiantion will help determine the underlying cause. Take care and do keep us posted.
For the past three months, I have had chest and sinus congestion, manifesting itself in hacking/coughing, wheezing, and expectorating thick yellow (various shades) mucus. I "sound" like I have a cold, but I don't. No other symptons have been present. Two regimens of antibiotics have proven to be ineffective. I am using daily the generic equivalent of Flonase, am also taking an antihistamine, Advair, and doing nasal irrigation with a neti pot.

Sinusitis symptoms like facial pain, nasal congestion, and nasal discharge for more than 10 to 14 days, you should see your doctor. Your doctor may prescribe a combination of treatments that involve medications along with self-care measures you can take at home for sinus relief. These include:
Hydration. Drinking plenty of water can help thin the mucus in your nose and sinuses. Staying hydrated can help your sinuses drain properly and may prevent a bacterial infection.
Rest.
First, milk has been proven in study after study to have no effect whatsoever on mucus production. So, drink as much milk as you want. Sugary drinks don't cause mucus or half of America would be walking around with "snot hanging to the ground". Mint tea won't fix an allergy or infection, and elderberry supplements are voodoo. There isn't a properly conducted study proving any of these to have effect.
SO, NOW FOR THE INTELLIGENT ANSWER....
