I've been dealing with a dust allergy and was advised to use Metaspray. I didn't get a refill for about four days after my last one ran out, and during that gap, I didn't take any other meds. Then, I caught a cold and fever, but that's starting to calm down now. I'm back on my Metaspray, but I'm really struggling with a dry cough and severe throat pain from all the coughing. What should I do?

I've been dealing with allergic rhinitis for about 20 years now, and I've tried almost every antihistamine and nasal spray available. I recently came across a nasal spray called Azelast or Arzep, which has an antihistamine named azelastine HCl. I'm curious if it's safe to use this spray whenever I need to since it doesn't contain steroids. Can you shed some light on this?

no problem you can take
