How come there isnt really any OTC allergy meds for stuffy nose? - Lemmy.World

A couple weeks ago on New Year’s Eve, my mom had to run a couple of errands, and I asked her if she can pick me up some allergy meds whilst she was out. My nose was itchy and stuffy and I was having bad sinus headaches. When she came home about an hour later, she gave me a bottle of allergy meds and she told me “I looked in two different stores, but they don’t make over the counter allergy meds for a stuffy nose. At least, all the allerg meds i could find were for runny nose.” And I just find that weird. Because my nose wasn’t runny. It was stuffed to the point I could hardly breathe through it properly. But apparently cold and flu meds are for stuffy noses Why don’t they make OTC allergy meds like Claritin or Allegra-D for stuffy noses?
