A member asked:
Cetirizine not working- been using it for 20 days now- if no it's making the allergy worse. is there a solution to this? thanks

Nasal steroid: Cetirizine is not that effective for allergic rhinitis since it provides no decongestant effect. Nasal steroid is more effective but may need a Rx in the UK. If even nasal steroid failed, then you need to see an allergist.
