A member asked:
Can i freely use high doses of combination of otc antihistamines which seem to relieve extreme dryness of nostrils accompanying my chronic sinusitis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Within Reason: I'm not sure what you mean by high doses of OTC antihistamines, but if you are only using antihistamines to treat your allergy symptoms you are not utilizing all available treatments. The gold-standard therapy for chronic sinus issues are nasal steroid sprays and/or antihistamine nasal sprays. Nasal saline rinses and an in-room humidifier help dryness but only if you are not allergic to dust mites
