Can Ephedrine Be Taken For Nasal Congestion Treatment?
For over a month I ve had congestion in head and one ear that won t drain at all. Mouth extremely dry. Ears checked by nurse at CVS clear no wax so couldn t use thing flushes ears. Told me I have a cold. I have Not taken any antihistines as they would make it worse . I hate efedrin so not either but why am I so dried up. I can barely breathe thru nose. This week a bit better but still can t hear one ear in a tunnel. Should I take effedrin? I m 62. No runny nose or eyes. I feel like I m totally drying up inside . Never had this before. No insurance no money what do I do?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, you do not mentioned any symptoms but said about the condition of congestion so it may not be the same as you are thinking if this is so then do not take Ephedrine such feeling could be due to age and may not be congestion still to get this confirm you need to get done the CT of head, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
