Since Allegra 180 and cetirizine aren't fully helping, and long-term use of Otrivin can actually worsen congestion, we should look at sustainable options. A great next step is discussing daily nasal corticosteroid sprays with your doctor; these safely reduce inflammation over time. For a permanent solution, allergen immunotherapy (allergy shots or sublingual drops) can desensitize your body to dust. Additionally, using a daily saline nasal rinse and wearing a scarf over your nose in cold weather can help. Please consult an allergist to safely transition off Otrivin and create a personalized plan.
