View allI'm dealing with a really annoying runny nose from a cold, and I'm wondering if something like Otrivin Oxy or the Vicks inhaler would help clear it up. Have you seen these treatments work effectively for this kind of issue? I've heard mixed things and just want to make sure I'm using the right thing to get some relief.
Otrivin Oxy and Vicks Inhaler can help with a runny nose due to the common cold, but they work differently and provide temporary relief. If your main issue is nasal congestion, Otrivin Oxy might be more effective, but for soothing and easier breathing, Vicks Inhaler can be helpful. Always follow the instructions for use and avoid prolonged use of decongestants like Otrivin. If symptoms persist, consider seeing a doctor.

I've noticed my ESR is at 30 and my AEC is 480, and I'm really concerned about the reason behind the increase in my AEC levels. My GP suggested I take diethylcarbamazine and chlorpheniramine, but I'm already on thyroid medication (100 mcg), atorvastatin (10 mg), and fefol. Is it safe for me to add these new medications? What might be causing the high AEC?
