A member asked:
Will loratadine help shirnk my sinuses?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not exactly: It does not really shrink your sinuses but it can help clear up the swelling and inflammation in your sinuses. Histamines are chemicals that are released when you inhale allergens. Antihistamines like loratadine can help decrease the effect of the histamine release.
