A member asked:
Can i continue to take my daily oral antihistimine (claritin) when i have a sinus infection? i keep reading very conflicting statements online.

Yes: Yes you can continue taking your daily oral antihistamine. It has little effects on acute sinusitis. It works at the beginning when you start to have very mild allergy symptoms.
