Good over the counter sinus medicine?

[Sniper82]

For nasal/throat congestion? I can't stand having a stopped up nose and throat. Should I buy the nose spray or is there something better than might clear up both temperarly?

Pseudoephedrine? Better yet are things I can't discuss. The most powerful of bronchial dilators.

Sorry, but something made from it is FAR more powerful.

Anyone else tried Sudafed and it work good? Which should I get 24 hour? I mainly want something that works good of the night. I can't sleep with my nose stopped up.

I'll use this as another place to promote xylitol. I highly reccomend you order some Xlear, or make some.

I need something I can go into Wal-Mart and buy. I know nose sprays will re leave congestion for up to 6-8 hours but I would rather take something that will re leave all the congestion if possible.

Tylenol Sinus seemed to work when first tried it a while ago but doesn't work as good anymore.

not anymore they are changing the formulation so you can't make meth out of it.

Can you use Nasal Spray and still take sinus meds? Like if the sinus meds don't work well can I go ahead and use the nasal spray?

IF the sinus meds don't provide some relief you likely have some a problem requiring more than an OTC pharmaceutical solution; in other words, see a doctor.

My sinuses are kicking my arse right now, and the only relief I'm able to get is from OTC Claritin D. It's working for me at the moment. I needed the antihistamine in addition to the decongestant as I was having horrible allergy fits with my eyes, etc.

Allergies < *.

The nasal sprays with steriods in them are more trouble than they're worth. If you want to use a nasal spray to help, just get the plain saline ones.

 

[Sniper82]

Don't know if it has steriods in it or not but I bought over the counter Afrin 12 hour nasal spray and some Motrin Sinus meds that says to take 1 every 4-6 hours take 2 if needed. I tried only taking one and it seemed to help some but didn't last but a couple hours. I am thinking about just using the nasal spray since its suppose to last longer. But not sure if you can mix them?

Maybe I should try taking 2 of the motrin here in a hour or so?
