I tried using some nasal drops for a while, but I guess they didn't really do much for me 🙂

Dealing with pollen and dust allergies...

Usually, using both together provides much better relief...
I'm not anyone. That's just what he told me.
I'm heading out to pick some up tomorrow, so we'll see if it actually does anything. Honestly, my biggest issue is that my nose gets stuffed up every single time I lie down. When I mention that to doctors, they look at me like I've lost my mind😕....That's why I asked about being addicted to nasal sprays.😁

I’ve got a similar issue, just without the coughing.🙂
Basically, breathing is fine during the day, everything seems okay. But as soon as I lie down at night, my nose gets totally stuffed up and I can't breathe. I used nasal drops for a long time, but they just ended up drying out my throat, which leads to this burning sensation and then a cough.
A while back, I did an allergy test and found out I’m allergic to dust and feathers. I definitely don't have any feathers in my room, and I clean the dust regularly... so I just bought an anti-allergy pillow and swapped out my mattress, so we'll see if that actually does anything.
Anyway, I went to see my doctor recently, and when I mentioned these symptoms, he just laughed at me. He didn't even know what to say, really.
They eventually diagnosed me with allergic rhinitis and recommended Flonase. They told me to use it once a day, specifically in the morning.
So now I'm wondering—could I maybe use it at night instead? Since that's when my symptoms usually kick in, should I follow the doctor's orders and stick to the morning, or would nighttime be better?
