Identify two treatment options that are NOT recommended (I.e., recommended against):

The clinical practice guideline for treating allergic rhinitis says that decongestants and intranasal liquid irrigations should not be used (Mitsias et al., 2020). Instead, the suggestion says to take both antihistamines and drugs that reduce inflammation at the same time. Decongestants narrow the blood vessels in the nasal tissue and can briefly help with stuffy noses. Still, they are not suggested because they might cause a reoccurrence of the congestion. Intranasal saltwater irrigations are not recommended because there is not enough proof to show that they work and they might cause harm.
