Abstract
This is part of a series of occasional articles on common problems in primary care A woman presents in early summer with a history of progressively worsening symptoms of a constant runny nose and frequent sneezing bouts. She was prescribed antihistamine tablets many years ago, which were helpful but made her drowsy. Lately, she has used “over the counter” decongestant nasal sprays, which, although initially helpful, now do not relieve symptoms. Tired and upset, she wants to know what else might help. #### Useful reading Any place for depot triamcinolone in hay fever? Drug Ther Bull 1999;37:3.
