Suggest treatment for rhinitis infection
Patient: Hi there I ve got a real irritable virus up my nose called rhinitis I ve been prescribed otrivine but have no way of getting it tonight is there any replacements that I can use just for tonigh. I have olbas oil, beconase and a variety of allergie tablets and flu tablet?? Doctor: Hello,otrivin is a nasal decongestant. It's not a cure for your rhinitis but it will alleviate your symptoms. If the "allergy" and "flu" tablets contain a decongestant then you can use them. The "allergy" tablets usually contain an antihistamine drug. The "flu" tablets may contain acetaminophen and perhaps also a decongestant.If you'd like a more detailed answer, please inform me about the active substances of the tablets that you have.Kind regards!
