Hi,
I actually get that sometimes ... in my case I think it's sinus pressure causing it but not pain .. inmflammation around the eye. But I'm not a doctor. My Doctor suggested a decongestant which helps a lot as well as o-t-c antihistamine eye drops which used along with a preservative eye drop to add moisture back in helps a lot.
Maybe your doctor will let you try something like GenTeal eye drops to help moisturize them and see if that helps alone ..
If ok with your doctor, have you tried an antihistamine/decongestant at night before bed .. sometimes what you describe may be post nasal drip but I'm not a doctor .. just my immediate thoughts reading your post. The decongestant may help dry things up. A sinus infection can do similar with the drip, too. The drip can also cause asthma-like symtpoms (bronchiospasms) to happen from the irritation.
Just some thoughts to ask your doctor.

Pretty much,yyou can't take anything with a decongestant. Normal, regular antihistamine should be fine.
Since it is a cold symptom reliever, not an antihistamine, if it is the decongestant helping, you might want to call your doctor's office and ask about decongestants/expectorants that are safe. Also, the best suggestion I received during my last pregnancy when it came to congestion was to get a humidifier. Ours was only a $20-30 one from Walgreens but was a life-saver!
As few drugs are known to cross the placenta and can have adverse effects in fetus. Pregnancy may be complicated by new-onset or preexistent allergic disease, including rhinitis, anaphylaxis, urticaria and angioedema, and atopic dermatitis. Pregnancy and asthma is extensively studied.
Of the currently available preparations, chlorpheniramine has been recommended as the first generation antihistamine of choice for use during pregnancy.
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.
After several of these headaches, starting about 10 years ago, I finally found that Benedryl with a decongestant takes care of it. However, the longer I wait to take the Benedryl the longer it takes to get it under control. So then it radiates to the back of my head and into my shoulder. I have noticed a severe change in weather or altitude is a major culprit. I thought it was allergies due to the fact that I get alot of them in the spring even though I'm taking Zyrtec and Singulair.
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.
e., with antihistamine chlorpheniramine 4 mg, decongestant phenylephrine 12.5 mg, and cough suppressant dextromethorphan 15 mg, each per 5 mL), then the guideline dose for a 4-year-old is one-quarter teaspoon (the one-half teaspoon dose is for age 6-11 years, while the full teaspoon dose is for ages 12 years and up).
Hi my name is Trev, and i want to take some Decongestant but it has Phenylephrine in, could this be of harm to me when i have had both Mitral and Aeotic valve replaced,
This can be dust, smoke, pollen, pets or chemical fumes. An over-the-counter antihistamine-decongestant combination may help stop your allergies and your cough. Talk to your doctor about this for proper management. Take care and best regards.
Since what you're coughing up is clear, it might be allergies. Have you tried an antihistamine or decongestant? If that doesn't help and it continues, I would see your doctor.

ve never had my ear hurt as bad as it did or had that amount of temporary hearing loss, so it was quiet startling at the time.
Thanks!
If you can afford to (sort of pricey at $20 for a 2 week supply) I would get Claritin-D or Allegra-D. They have an antihistamine as well as a decongestant. You have to get them from a pharmacist (behind the counter) and show your ID.
I take Claritin-D daily for the same symptoms you have. I get bad headaches at night and my nose gets stuffed, with sneezing and runny eyes. Since starting Claritin-D, I no longer have that problem unless it wears off before I go to bed.
I would ask your physician to prescribe a decongestant and/or another antihistamine, i.e. Sudafed PE and/or Astelin Nasal Spray if the Nasonex isn't working.
You will also need blood counts, chest x-ray and sputum examination. Decongestant drugs and antihistamine drugs may be helpful in such symptoms. Canker sore can be caused by vitamin B-12, zinc, folic acid, or iron deficiency. It is best to consult a healthcare professional. Treatment will depend on the diagnosis. Keep me posted.
‘Best luck and take care!
Make sure that the antihistamine you're taking doesn't have a decongestant included. I've taken Zyrtec D prior to bed a few times and stared at the ceiling for hours.
