A member asked:
Have been taking claratin 10 mg for few days and getting excellent sleep. does this mean my main pblm is allergy and not nasal congestion?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Could be, but: allergy is a sort of chronic inflammation, and that can lead to congestion too, if claritin helped, fine, stay on it, use it regularly for sometime, even if you have no symptoms, read the labels carefully to make sure it suits you. If later symptoms develop, and claritin isn't as effective, you may want to see an allergist if u have access to one in your area, or follow up with your ENT specialist
