swollen nasal passages? If so have him coat the inside of his nose with Orajel maximum strength toothache medicine, may or may not help, also you may have triggers in your home, can't do much with the CH response except drug yourself to death, but you have some control over triggers, learn what they are and avoid them, I have the pill type Demerol, and about an hour of relief is correct, the DV injection with the 24 hours sleep works differently, I don't use the pill type anymore due to addiction and the rebound effect and very limited relief, rebound is a very serious issue on taking any med for long periods of time, how was your husbands CH's before the med stage, think back, are the meds really helping or making them worse?
