Q: is either claritin (loratadine) or allegra better for seasonal tree pollen allergies? my voice is gone and my inner ears itch and are swollen.

Allegra&gt;Claritin but: Allegra is usually considered more potent than Claritin but they do not appear to work for you. Suggest you consider trying an OTC nasal steroid for a week. If still no relief, see allergist.
