Question 1

is this my allergies? i woke up this morning blowing my nose its stuffy stopped up a little my throat hurts its itchy my eyes has water running down

Accepted Answer

It could be: This  could be  allergic  or viral but also could be  non-allergic rhinitis.Would treat  with antihistamine or  decongestant and if no response discuss with your physician.

Question 2

stuffy nose, scratchy throat and my ears feel plugged. ive been like this 3 times already in the past 3 months. is it allergies? i stopped taking my allergy medicine even though doctor told me to take it every day

Accepted Answer

Allergies: It definitely sounds like allergies and the fact that you were taking medication for this makes it even more likely. I would suggest you go see your doctor for him to decide if you should retake your medication or start some new ones.

Question 3

my nose is stopped up due to my allergies. are there any home remedies to cure this?

Accepted Answer

Sure!: One good option to consider is nasal saline, a mixture of water and salt. This is commonly marketed as nasal saline spray or a rinse. Either way, the goal is to "flush" the nasal passage free of mucous or other irritants that could contribute to your congestion. This is a good first option, and i hope it helps!

Question 4

my nose is usually dry at night and in the morning its stuffy.what could cause this and what can i do? can this have anything to do with allergies.

Accepted Answer

ALLERGY SINUSITIS: Most likely you have allergy sinusitis , or you could be having a chronic sinusitis
try to take allergy medicine like zyrtec or Benadryl (diphenhydramine) at night since it could make you drowsy
if persistent you might need to see ENT specialist
some people benefit from saline nasal spray, some suggest local honey from your local farmer market.

Question 5

if i have seasonal allergies, why is my nose normal in the morning and afternoon time but stuffy in the evening?

Accepted Answer

Time is a clue.: The fact that your nose is worse in the evening suggests that there is an environmental allergen you're exposed to during the day, but not necessarily at night. For example, if you were allergic to pollen and you worked outdoors, i'd expect your nose to be worse in the evening, after you've been outside all day, but better in the morning after sleeping indoors all night. Consider allergy testing.

Question 6

how can you relieve stuffy nose from allergies?

Accepted Answer

Decongestants: No antihistamines have decongestant properties so need to take oral or topical decongestant.  Topical nasal steroids and singulair (montelukast) can decongest.

Question 7

i wake up with a stuffy nose and allergy symptoms. help please?

Accepted Answer

Stuffy nose: Many things can cause stuffy nose including allergy. A cold, flu, sinus infection also cause stuffy nose. However if you have congestion all the time, it's likely due to allergy or sinus problem. OTC allergy/sinus medication may help relieve your symptoms temporarily. See a local physician to get a diagnosis and more effective long term treatment. Both allergist and ENT are specialized in this.

Question 8

are there some effective ways to clear stuffy nose from animal allergies?

Accepted Answer

Avoid and meds: The best treatment for animal allergies is to avoid the trigger (pet dander).  While antihistamines can be helpful to decrease sneezing and itching, the congestion related to allergies is best treated with prescription nasal sprays such as qnasl, flonase, nasonex, (mometasone) etc.  If symptoms become persistent, then allergy injections may be considered.

Question 9

Question 10

my nose is stuffy hurts and i have no saline solutions and it feels itchy what can i use to help it and its autumn now  could it be fall allergies?

Accepted Answer

Yes fall allergies: The fall pollen counts are extremely high due to the hot dry summer. You probably are experiencing fall allergies. Antihistamines may help (claritin, zyrtec, Allegra are all long acting and non-sedating and available without prescription) .  A nasal saline solution may help cleanse the nasal passages as well, to gain relief from the itchy nose.
