May need more: Antihistamine like zyrtec is good, but may need to consider daily nasal saline rinses/sprays, adding a nasal steroid (prescription only), and prescription allergy eye drops. During different seasons, some people just might need more therapy. Also consider getting allergy testing done with doctor.
