Allergic reaction: Avoid possible triggers of an allergic reaction, including dust, pollen,mold and animal dander. Avoid smoke exposure. Rinse your hair, nasal passages and eyes with water. Continue the antihistamine as directed and add nasal saline and possibly an over the counter nasal steroid once daily to treat symptoms of an allergic reaction. Watch for signs of difficulty swallowing or breathing.

Reasonable : This should be fine.One of the common features of over the counter medications is they have less potential for harm when taken.
