I wish I'd known about azelastine years ago, as it's not addictive. I was given the over-the-counter nasal spray Afrin by a doctor almost 50 years ago when I had a bad cold. It's helped my breathing so much that I continued to use it for years, which unfortunately I became addicted to. I had to have it on me at all times, and use it as soon as my nose began plugging up. And of course, the longer I used it, the more I needed to use it because the effects wore off quicker by then. I finally quit when I ended up in the hospital electrolyte imbalance. A kind doctor there prescribed a nasal spray that would help, but wasn't addictive.

I next saw an Ear, Nose and Throat doctor who told me I had a deviated septum, and also Rhinitis. He told me that I was very fortunate to not have suffered any damage to my nasal passages, after having used Afrin for so many years. He said he'd seen patients who had used Afrin and had serious damage to their sinuses...actual holes in their noses from tissue death. I consider myself pretty fortunate. My doctor prescribed Ipratroprium Bromide Nasal Spray (non-addictive steroid) for the Rhinitis, and I've also used Breathe Right nasal strips at night for many years.

Google AI:

Azelastine is available over the counter (OTC) in the United States in the form of the brand-name spray Astepro Allergy, which contains 0.15% azelastine hydrochloride and provides relief from nasal allergy symptoms for adults and children 6 years and older. A prescription is no longer needed for this non-steroid, antihistamine nasal spray, making it a first-of-its-kind OTC option in the U.S.

I used Afrin for years.

Same results as you.

My problem was ‘Inverted papilloma’ in my upper sinus cavity.

Would up having three operations to remove it in 2008.................

Wow. I hope it resolved your problem.

[Red Badger]

Yes, I am completely free of the papilloma.

Only thing now is I have seasonal allergies that I didn’t have before...................

They cured the problem, but made you more susceptible to seasonal allergies. I take one 24 hour Loratadine 10 mg. a day at the direction of my doctor. I can't take anything stronger or else it affects my blood pressure. I rarely get a cold, just a damn runny nose from the Rhinitis. It's worse right after I get up in the morning, then calms down after about an hour.

Same here. I just put up with it for a few weeks and most of the year it doesn’t bother me................

Probably the saline. Never had the vax and never had COVID.

I wonder how well Tide Pods prevents CoVid. I have not yet met anyone who ate a Tide pod developing the virus.

Big Farmer needs to take a big hit...like allowing every affected victim world-wide to sue them for damages.

Rescind their damn”immunity”.

[Glad2bnuts]

Xlear works great for colds and flus.

Their vaccines didn’t give us immunity, so why should they get any?...............

[AppyPappy]

The Democrats lied when they said the vaccine gave immunity and we all knew it. They just said that to justify their “you kill grandma” narrative.
