Summary
Horizon 37747 spent about a year thinking their sinus symptoms were chronic sinusitis before an allergist suggested nasalcrom, an over-the-counter mast cell stabilizer spray. They said it cut their sneezing fits way down, though it took about a week of consistent use and tasted odd at first. Their doctor also had them trial an H1 with an H2 antihistamine for a few weeks to see if the combination helped.
