A member asked:
I have allergy symptoms year round and the biggest concern is constant post nasal drip, what is the most effective antihistamine for post nasal drip?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nasal steroid: Nasal steroid will likely be more effective than any antihistamine. However one needs to rule out sinus infection as the cause also. If nasal steroid did not affect your drips after a week of daily use, consider seeing an allergist.
