Accepted Answer

See doctor : Sinusitis is often triggered by a viral infection or allergy - less often by a bacterial infection. Zyrtec may help some but you may also need steroid and decongestant nasal sprays - maybe an antibiotic

Check with your doctor

Question 9

is cetirizine 10mg or singular 10 mg better for sinus allergy or  cold symptoms? i'm comin down with something maybe a cold.

Accepted Answer

Neither are ideal: The gold standard treatment for allergic rhinitis are daily intranasal corticosteroid sprays and not antihistamines or Singulair (montelukast). Cetirizine and Singulair (montelukast) can be used as adjunctive therapy, but are not first line. Cold symptoms from a virus is another story, best treated with symptomatic management including rest, hydration, saline rinses, time, etc.

Question 10

can i take stacker 2 or3 and use synex 12 hour nasal spray ? right now i take zyrtec for my sinus  problem also.

Accepted Answer

No nasal decongestan: Be aware that over the counter nasal decongestant sprays are extremely addictive and should only be used for 3 days max. You can use zyrtec d or go to your doc and get a prescription for a steroid nasal sprays that is much better and is not habit forming.
