Talk with your doc: The best for nasal allergies is a corticosteroid nasal spray (flonase, nasonex, (mometasone) rhinocort, etc.) that must be prescribed by your doctor. These all work about the same, though some people may respond better to 1 vs another. Dryness can be helped by otc saline sprays. Otc nasal rinses (e.g. Neti pot) can help as well. Avoid using otc decongestant sprays for more than ~3 days at a time. See your md.

Question 10

can you take a nasal spray decongestant with nyquil?

Accepted Answer

: A nasal spray like Afrin and Nyquil together could potentially ramp up your sympathetic nervous system. In other words, blood pressure and heart rate can increase. Try to use the drug with the least amount of ingredients that target the worse symptoms, such as Afrin for runny nose or nasal congestion. (Nyquil often is a combination of 3 drugs).
