A member asked:

Mucus in throat, stuffed nose, puffy eye bags. is there an otc drug i can try?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Allergy or cold: Sounds like an allergy or a cold. Try a decongestant with an expectorant. If you have more of an itchy feeling with sneezing then try an allergy medicine first like loratidine or cetrizine. The also can come with a decongestant (like claritin-d).
