Hi,

Clarifies a good combination of anti allergic decongestant medicines to treat allergic cold, It can be taken in type 2 diabetes safely. Along with the drug, he has to take rest, avoid known allergens. Inhalation helps in blocked nostrils due to cold.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
