A member asked:

I have ichy throat which keeps awake all through the night this morning i took advil allergey and congestion can i take claritin at bed time.?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Allergies: You could take claritin (loratadine), zyrtec (cetirizine) or allegra (fexofenadine) which are all very similar OTC antihistamines. You could also consider a nasal steroid spray (flonase, nasocort, nasonex).
