Allergies: 21 year old lady with allergies unresponsive to OTC antihistamines. If blocking histamine has not worked, try using a nasal corticosteroid spray such as Flonase which you can buy over the counter. You should also try to avoid allergen triggers and visit a specialist in Rheumatology who can use an allergy panel to diagnose your specific allergy and possibly do immunotherapy. Good luck.

Zyrtec, claritin, (loratadine) allegra, clarinex. Other allergy pill options? Year-round, persistant allergies. Wet in ears, post-nasal drip (sore throat).

I am trying xyzal for allergies. Since starting it I wake up every morning with post nasal drip, itchy eyes, nose and throat and am sneezing all day. Can I take Zyrtec D 12 hours after xyzal? I know xyzal is a 24 hour pill?
