You can take 1/2 of a Claritin if it dries you out too much. Singular works on both allergies and asthma and is a great option. Any allergy medication with a "D" after it contains a decongestant, which I'd steer clear from.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. I went to whole foods invested in a neti-pot. Bought a saline nasal spray. It works just as well as the over the counter stuff, and I don't have to wait 12 hours. I called my doc who will schedule me for an allergy test, etc. I feel better already. Thanks for the support.
The nasal saline rinse (Neti-pot type setup but a different brand Ayre with a squeeze bottle) changed my life.
I used to wake up in the middle of the night with gummy clogging in my sinuses and could not sleep or breathe well when it happened. I would have to just get up and suffer through it.
My neti rinse every morning is so soothing and really clears my head and sinuses and feels wonderful. It is natural and easy. Makes all the difference in the world for me.Now it's a daily or every other day simple routine just like brushing my teeth. No more icky clogged mucus sinus gunk for me!
