Suffer From Blocked Ears. Took Cetrizine Hydrochloride. Can Sudafed Be Taken?
Hi I have been suffering from very blocked ears and nose for the last couple of days. Took a cetirizine hydrochloride to see if I was having unusual hay fever (not usually a hay fever sufferer) but think it's more just congestion. So can I take a Sudafed (pseudoephedrine hydrochloride) tonight, or should I wait until the cetirizine has worn off?

hello .
You can take both cetrizine and pseudoephedrine.
One is antihistaminic and other is decongestant.
But if you have recurrent problem of allergic nasal disease then you must take----
Monteleukast with antihistaminic like cetrizine or fexofenadine or loratidine.
You must get an ent consultation and get your noose examined as there can. Be need of ct scan or you may also need nasal steroids.
If in doubt do reply.
