Does Intake Of Antihistamine Help In Curing Post-nasal Drip?
can try singulair, ketotifen and different spray
Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Most antihistamines and steroid sprays are available over the counter.
It is possible , however, because of different formulations that another steroid spray may work better for you.
You may want to try nasonex or nasocort spray to see if one of these helps
In addition, you can also consider trying ketotifen or singulair. Ketotifen is an antihistamine and a mast cell stabiliser. Mast cell stabilisers stop the release of chemicals that are involved in cause the allergic response and symptoms, this means it may have an additive effect.
Singulair is a leukotriene receptor antagonist. The leukotriene receptors are the points in the body where the 'allergy' chemicals stick to to cause their effect.
If the points are blocked off, there are reduced symptoms.
The use of ketotifen and/or singulair along with a different nasal spray may help.
If there is no relief, you may need to consider allergy testing to determine if there is anything in particular that is causing the reaction
Allergy tests can be in the form of skin tests or blood tests.
I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions

Detailed Answer:
HI
Yes, your doctor can give a script for the singulair or the ketotifen (the antihistamine plus the mast cell stabiliser)
If these are not effective, your doctor may need to consider a short course of oral steroids for you
We are not able to provide prescriptions unfortunately and can only suggest a course of action
