Agree with Dr Novick: Are the tree pollens starting up already where you live? If the combo cetirizine and Benadryl (diphenhydramine) aren't working consider starting a steroid nasal spray (quite safe actually) or could he be coming down with a cold?

Mgt: I would suggest avoiding pollen, by closing the windows, using a HEPA filter indoors. Nasal steroids and saline rinses may also help. I would using Zyrtec or Claritin.
