I caught a hell of a cold two weeks ago and it seems to have passed except for this Niagara Falls tier runny nose. I’ve succumbed to desperation and have just been walking around with a nose tampon. Lemmy, how do you treat your runny nose??

    Phenylephrine Hydrochloride, dries me right up after half an hour, as long as I keep taking it every four hours.

      Do yourself a favor and get real pseudoephedrine. Phenylephrine dries my sinuses out so much that it actually hurts and I have to use nasal ointments that only seem to help what I can reach with them for like 5 minutes at a time. Pseudo (+mucinex if needed for thicker mucus) honestly feels like going back to baseline in comparison.
