what medicine i should i take for sneezing and runnynose?


Question:


Answers:
You need an antihistamine.

There are many available over-the-counter. It's a matter of finding one that is effective for you.

One of the major side effects of antihistamines is that they cause drowziness, so be careful trying to drive or operate machines until you know how it will affect you (gee, I sound like a commercial).

There are antihistamines that don't cause you to become sleepy. Claritin (Loratidine) is one of them. It's available now without a prescription.

Other Answers:
BENYDRYL. Its the only thing that works on my allergies.
Be careful though it DOES cause drowsiness.
my daughter and i both take singular for asthma and allergies
sudefed is another good one to dry you up
antihistamine
An allergy medicine that contains anti-histamine.
amy type of antihistamine, over the counter benadryl is probably the best for that but it will make you drowsy. claritan wont make you drowsy but it doesnt work quite as well. chlor-trimeton is sort of in between

id start with claritan and see if that works for you, you can get the generic (loratidine) pretty cheap and it usually takes care of mild to moderate cold/allergy stuff
I've tried Claritin and find it overpriced and underproductive.
Allegra has done wonders for me when taken daily, but even with that, sometimes there arejust bad days.
Benadryl does the trick, but like everyone says it makes you drowsy--it gives me funny dreams, too.
Pseudophedrine is no longer available b/c a bunch of meth heads use it in their labs, but it is a form of non-drowsy relief for certain allergies. They've come out with a generic for it, but it's really not the same.
With any allergy medication be sure to drink lots of water as they will tend to dry out your sinuses.
These remedies relieve the fever and chills, sore throat, sinusitis, sneezing, runny nose, body aches and pains, and chest congestion that may accompany a cold or flu.

We can give you answers here but we can not give you a script. Number 2, out of all the answers to your question, which one do you think is safe and reliable? That means you still have to do some guess-work, and you are likely to guess wrong. So, the best thing to do is to go to your GP. He will give you a professional advice, and then prescribe something suitable for your condition. On top of that, he will remain accountable for his actions. For us youqa users, we can advise you to buy Claritin, but if you react to it and it kills you we don't care because we don't know you anyway, and you don't know us. So be wise. Ask your GP, and STOP asking youqa users. That's all.
