Nasacort
Is that the spray?
It is. It only recently became available OTC, but since it's a steroid and not an actual antihistamine, it works differently, and generally pretty well, and is safe to use with antihistamines.
I'm not sure how old he is, but I heard him use the word 'newfangled' one time, so he's gotta be pretty far gone.

I think Sara's got allergies -- she's been coughing up a storm since the other day, and she doesn't have a fever. Poor noodle. She sounds so ragged.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I didn't know Nasacort is OTC now. I ought to give that a try.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Stupid finds a way.
That is the truth.
My grandboss just called a meeting with my team to get some feedback. Afterward, my super-eager and slightly longwinded new hire went to tell him some more stuff. I walked in a couple of minutes later because I had a scheduled meeting with the grandboss. He was CLEARLY trying to get her to wrap up, and she just....kept going. Luckily, I knew this about her already and have a good relationship with him, because I was pre-mortified by the time she left.

Thanks! I haven't tried Nasacort. I've been using Nasalcrom with some success, but that's prevention only, not treatment. I'll pick some up when I go to the drugstore after work (the more times I repeat that I am going to the drugstore, the more likely I will remember to actually go. Drugstore. After work.)
The Claritin and Zyrtec both have big DO NOT TAKE MORE THAN ONE DOSE IN A DAY notices in the documentation, though I am really not taking another of either today because they are at home and I am at work where the Allegra lives...I suspect what I really need right now is Benadryl, but I don't have that to hand either...

Nasalcrom
That's the one with the hilarious ads, right? "That's right. I said Nasal. Crom."

I always go to a "We have ways of making you talk. Bring on the Nasalkromm" place with that one.

NasalCrom is what NoseConan swears by.

Nah, my doctor has told me to take 2 claritin/zyrtec/allegra (basically, whichever one I had on hand) for really bad allergy attacks. You can take 2 a day if you need to.
I've been using Nasalcrom with some success, but that's prevention only, not treatment.
I think Nasacort is meant to be preventive, too, not treatment.

Benadryl is really the only rescue med for a bad allergy attack, isn't it?
