Severe DNS and Allergy
I was diagnosed with mild DNS years back now I am working with an airline and my allergies are getting worse. I was asked for surgery but I want to switch some my medications at least till the time I am not planning. I have difficulty in breathing, any cold wind or smoke gets my nose blocked and severe sneezing with water from nose. I have to completely rely on otrivin or oxyspary but as time goes on this is not providing a good support even with the tablets too. I am currently planning my surgery and dates but it would be really helpful if someone can suggest me some non side effects nasal drop or nasal cleaning with non steroid medication as cetzen and montelukas makes me sleepy. I am advised to do jala neti procedure but I need a nasal spray advise when I am at work as I want to avoid otrivin completely.

Option to otrivine is steroid nasal sprays. And as compared to otrivine, steroid nasal sprays have a better safety spectrum and can be used for longer time with fewer side effects. There are other non sedating, newer anti allergic drugs also available, which can be used, like bilastine or combinations containing fexofenadine. You should visit ENT specialist physically for better treatment.
