D. DecongestantExplanation
A decongestant is a medication that helps relieve nasal congestion by constricting the blood vessels in the nasal passages. It works by reducing swelling and inflammation in the nasal tissues, allowing for easier breathing and relief from congestion. Unlike antipyretics (fever reducers), anti-hypertensives (blood pressure medications), antihistaminics (allergy medications), and anthelmintics (anti-parasitic drugs), decongestants specifically target nasal congestion. They are commonly used to alleviate symptoms of allergies, colds, and sinus infections.Rate this question:
