What are good over the counter options for decongestants?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Decongestant medication works rapidly after use but the rebound congestion could be worrisome. So it is probably better to use antihistamine preparations OTC such as allegra or zyrtec along with nasal steroid inhaler such as nasacort or nasonex. They do not work immediately but there is no rebound adverse effect.
