Bad cedar allergies, tried claritin (loratadine)?

Dr. Stevan Cordas answered

Specializes in Internal Medicine

Cedar: Cedar is a late fall, winter and early spring problem in many states. If meds are ineffective orally, i would try a mix of intranasal anithistamines and steroids. Oral or injectables should be saved for emergencies. Remember allergy is genetic and only immunotherapy can rebuild your system. I found that allergy shots help my patients.
