Does the cause of the stuffy nose matter? You want to make the swelling go down, regardless of whether it’s allergies or a cold. It’s just treating a symptom so any decongestant should work, no?

  No, exactly, you want a thing that makes the swelling go down. That’s a decongestant. Decongestants do nothing about the underlying cause. It’s just mist commonly used when people also have a cold.

    It’s the same thing, you’re getting caught up on a meaningless distinction.

    Meaning that it’s just marketed as cold medication without doing anything specifically for colds?

    I mean, how do you treat a cold? Anything you do is treating symptoms and waiting for your body to get rid of germs.

  If you a certain it’s just allergies, a claritin or reactin is OTC and generally effective.
