[|Human|] Is it safe to take benedryl for allergies with BP meds? I am on Losartin 50 mg. also, I have fluid behind my ears, my dr. Gave me a steroid shot & prescribed antibiotics - no decongestant to relieve pressure behinds the ears. Is there something I can do for that, or do I just have to wait it out?
[|AI|]  Unfortunately there is no medication to reduce the fluid and pressure behind your ears. Sometime with allergies you can get these problems. If you are having nose blocks very often you can try steroid Nasal spray (like Flonase or Alone). For allergies, it is best to use regular antihistamines. Best to avoid long term use of nasal decongestants as this can cause rebound swelling of the lining in your nose and worsen nose blocks. If you are getting frequent symptoms, use antihistamines only. Losartan can cause nasal congestion.
