A member asked:

Please advise if it's okay to take allergy medication in the morning when my doctor told me to take it at night?

Specializes in Allergy and Immunology

Yes: In general you can take allergy medications either day or night or both depending which medication you are taking. There are many medication categories that are used to treat allergies. Some might cause drowsiness so for those, it is better to take it at night.

My daughter had been through two different rounds of oral antibiotics for an inner ear infection, as well as drops on top of the last oral medication and she is still saying her ear hurts. I am not excited about a third round of antibiotics. We did the walk in clinic twice, now I am not sure if I should take her to her primary doctor or to a specialist and if I need a referral or not for her? She has seasonal allergies that are in full swing now also. 7 year old Daughters Left?
