A member asked:
What are some good decongestants for people with allergies to nsaids (aspirin, ibuprofen, etc.)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Several: I like to start with hypertonic nasal saline nose sprays to help reduce congestion without medications. Pseudoephedrine ok short time. OTC nasacort (triamcinolone) also good if allergies the cause. This article may help - but if not improved soon or worsens see your MD. http://familydoctor.org/familydoctor/en/drugs-procedures-devices/over-the-counter/decongestants-otc-relief-for-congestion.html
