A member asked:

I've had sinus congestion and post-nasal drip for 2 months? should i switch nasal steroid sprays?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See the doctor: You could try adding an antihistamine with or without a decongestant over the counter. Or, you could see your doctor to see if you have developed a sinus infection.
