Allergy Sufferers

in Head and Neck Cancer #1

I am six weeks post treatment and my seasonal allergies are starting to kick in.  I am finding that the post nasal drip, stuffiness, and congestion are compounding my treatment side effects. My throat seems more swollen which is making eating a little more challenging.

Have any of you found yourselves in the same boat, and do you have any recommendations?  I am using some meds but they tend to dry you out...

Thanks,

Joel

    meds

    I have had OTC Zyrtek for years, but, ask your Dr

     

    If its ok  with Dr, there is a WM version and a Walgreens verson, that won't kill your wallet
