I get really stuffed up in the city when the air is full of pollution. is there anything that help with this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Several treatments: If you are allergic (runny/itchy eyes & nose with sneezing), you can take antihistamines like Claritin or zyrtec. If this is non-allergic stuffiness, you may have relief with a steroid nasal spray (rx from your fp). If neither of the above, you may simply get relief by using a saline sinus rinse on a regular basis. You could simply be reacting to the pollution in the air, & that needs washing out!
