Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hi there ~

I understand your concerns. I believe that the swollen nasal passage is due to cocaine use and to get rid of it you have to primarily stop using the cocaine and secondarily consult a local doctor to get symptomatic relief from the swelling. I hope you also consult a psychiatrist who can help you in recovery from the substance abuse. I hope this helps you in the long term as well as claritin is a short term reliever.

I hope this helps. Take care of yourself and have a lovely day!
