A member asked:
Does claritin (loratadine) help with localized tongue swelling from dental work?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Depends: Pprobably not. If the swelling is localized, its probably not an allergic reaction. Consult with your dentist if the swelling persist more than one or two days.

Swelling: It does not sound liek an allergic reaction so Claritin (loratadine) is not likely going to work.
