Allergic Post nasal drip help - anyone?
I have severe allergies atm (yay spring.. not!) And one of the side effects is post nasal drip.
Because my breathing was so badly affected I'm on a 3 day course of steroids, symbicort (sp?), and ventolin as needed. I have also been given the OK for antihistamines, decongestants and cough medicine that helps with nasal stuff.
The drip is all very thin and I can still breath through my nose, but I can constantly feel it dripping down my throat and it's making me cough cough cough!! Only at night too! All day long I have been fine except for the occasional cough here and there, but as soon as I went to bed, Bam! The coughing started.
I have currently filled my quota of all the medicines I can take and so far nothing has helped!! I am still awake at 2am desperately tired and exhausted and have to wake up in 4-4.5hrs when DD wakes. And I know once I do fall asleep, these meds will zonk me and I'm going to be super exhausted because a couple were drowsy meds.
Anyone have any suggestions on things that help PND?? I'm getting super desperate :( :cry:
Sorry about the long windedness, my brain can't make it any shorter in my sleep deprived state :(
