Do not delay seeing colorectal surgeon.

Various Options: Daily steroid or antihistamines nasal sprays (fluticasone, azelastine) are helpful.

Other meds include Sudafed, Mucinex, (guaifenesin) Afrin, oral antihistamines

Question 10

i'm curious as to what is the best medicine to cure allergy?

Accepted Answer

No cure yet, but...: Allergy shots (allergen immunotherapy) is currently the only treatment that is disease modifiying, meaning it can change how the body responds to exposure to allergens.  It is "natural" and long lasting effects carry on after shots are stopped. It works for most, but not all people.  Closest thing to a cure so far.....
