Has anyone of you ever had an allergic reaction to Afrin??
When I took it the first time I thought it was a little strange the way I felt.
The second time I took it, my face swelled, my eyes got swollen, and I could hardly see, taste, and smell. Anyone experienced a reaction like that?
Finally I took Benadryl which took the reaction away.
