A member asked:
Would an antihistamine spray reduce my runny nose caused by viruses/bacteria or strictly the one caused by allergens?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: Since the nasal antihistamines possess anti-cholinergic effect , they may potentially reduce the nasal discharge. However there is another Rx spray would likely work far better.
