Control allergies.: Main rx- controlling allergic exposures meds: the most effective group of commonly used meds are the nasal corticosteroids but need to be used regularly to work. Higher amounts/short term, to get on top of the allergy may help. Both antihistamines (pills & intranasal) and decongestants can decrease rhinorrhea. Intranasal ipratropium can be very effective. Nasal saline can help. Allergy injections.
