A member asked:
Can anti-histamine + nasal irrigation + cromolyn sodium spray help reduce chronic nasal turbinate, nasopharynx inflammation & mucus membrane swelling?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: they can reduce discharge, sneezing, but not congestion or inflammation, you will need anti-inflammatory medications as steroid nasal sprays, but better be directed by an ENT specialist or an Allergist/Immunologist if you have access to one, best wishes
