Help! I Am Going Crazy With This Ragweed Allergy?

396545383 I wake up in the morning and my mose is completely plugged up and it takes about 2 hours to get it unplugged and lots of Kleenex! I use antihistimines as my doctor suggested and it's fine during the day, but it is terrible when I wake up in the am. Any suggestions?
My oncologist won't let me take allergy shots because of the cancer in my lungs, so those are outThe oncologist also told me that this has nothing to do with the cancer, it is from Ragweed pollen.

  1. Secretkid - Have you tried Advil Cold and Sinus Medicine? It brings down the inflammation in your sinus so you will be able to breath thru your nose. I know what you are going through, I have been there. Every year I will do the same thing but the Advil Cold & Sinus Medicine works for me.

    I hope this helps.

  2. pennypincher - Can you use a nasal spray? A steroidal one, such as Beconase AQ or Nasonex work much better than antihistamines. You could also get an air purifier for your bedroom.
