A member asked:

Zyrtec (cetirizine) is not working to help reduce allergy symptoms. what else can i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Other ideas: Try an otc sinus rinse product. If that's not working, the next step is a prescription nasal steroid spray. If that's not working, you should see an alergist.
