I took my usual 24 hour Claritin-D this morning (with the old formula, Pseudoephedrine sulfate, not the Phenylephrine HCl) and it is not working at all (which is very strange because it has been working fine for almost a month).

Anyone have an effective ways to relieve the pressure/congestion that doesn’t involve medicine?

Try using a netty pot — it was on Oprah. It helps relieve sinus congestion. Something that is similar but works even a bit better (though its less comfortable), is a salt-water snuff. Basically you get some water in your hand and put a bit of salt in it and then sniff it up your nose. It’ll help clear things out.

Sinus Pressure
Don’t do the steam thing, because that only (to me) makes me way more congested. I don’t take claritin, it doesn’t work. Zrytec works better and try going to the doctor and ask them about Nasonex, I use that nasal spray, zrytec, and singulair every night, and I rarely have a stuffy nose now.

try mucinex d instead, that works better for me than Claritin D, I also use vicks vapor rub wait until it is good and “burning” then take a really long hot shower (or put your head over steam with a towel.
