Dying from allergies this season, and it’s affecting my ability to focus at work as well as sleep since my nose is blocked all the time. Tried all the meds, nasal sprays, but nothing is working. Does anybody know an urgent care that offers the steroid shot?

Might be worth getting checked for a sinus infection. With how dry everything has been, it could have morphed.

This^. Based on your description it sounds like a bacterial infection, not allergies. But of course I’m not a doctor so you would need a real diagnosis

You tried Affrin severe congestion? That stuff is like draino for your nasal passage.

Snort Ocean/ saline nasal spray in the morning and at night. Take Loratadine + Flonase in the morning (after taking Ocean in shower). Change your clothes when you come home as they are covered in pollen. Wash sheets once a week.

I’m not sure what the steroid shot is but I do allergy shots (the kind where they test you, then inject you with what you’re allergic to and you build up). It’s a big time commitment and not an immediate fix but it’s been amazing for me. My allergies aren’t gone but they’re so much more manageable and don’t make me miserable anymore.

Are you sure it’s allergies? I would think he would have more of the watery runny discharge than extreme stuffiness

Try Bromfed DM. It has brompheniramine, dextromethorphan, pseudoephedrine. It’ll dry you out. Then make sure you take your antihistamine and Flonase everyday while high pollen season.

I went to an allergist recently bc it feels like I have cold once it hits spring. He said it’s best to take allergy meds at night bc it’s more effective (I take what he recommended, Xyzal). And then I also do saline rinse in the AM/PM + nasal spray. I was also prescribed the generic version of singular, which helps suppress some of the chemicals that are triggered by allergies that cause symptoms.
