Cetirizine, is this best for treating congested nose/eustachian tube type of allergy?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
See below: It is a good antihistamine. A topical steroid like Nasonex (mometasone) or Flonase may help even more.

Yes: Yes this is good, as well as otc Claritin (loratadine) and allegra, which would equally work.
