What Causes Nasal Congestion, Running Nose, Cough And Face Redness?

I also use sinus rinse of sodium bicarbonate & chloride. Obviously this is not my first sinus issue. Just the red face is new. Any thoughts?
Possibility of uncontrolled allergy is more.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, you are mostly having allergic rhinitis due to severe allergy.
These symptoms are not due to Claritin.
In my opinion, you should start
1. Steam inhalation 4-5 times a day.
2. Instead of plain Claritin (antihistamine), better to take combination of antihistamine (levocetrizine or fexofenadine) and anti allergic (montelukast) drugs.
3. Start intranasal spray containing steroids (fluticasone,).
4. Avoid dust and pollution.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
