I frequently get a common cold and a runny nose, what medicine should I take?

Asked by Female, 30 · 9 days ago

Frequent 'colds' and a runny nose are often actually allergic rhinitis (allergies) rather than repeated viral infections. For immediate relief, you can try an over-the-counter non-drowsy antihistamine (like Loratadine or Cetirizine) and a saline nasal spray to clear congestion. However, because this is a frequent issue, I highly recommend consulting a doctor. They can properly diagnose if allergies are the cause and may prescribe a daily steroid nasal spray (like Fluticasone) for long-term prevention. Avoid using over-the-counter decongestant nasal sprays for more than 3 to 5 days, as they can worsen your congestion.
