There are many antihistamines. Go to drugs.com and read about all you want to try. Best to not take for long time. Beware of drowsiness.

Zyzal would be safe and it is non sedating. Good Luck

Non-sedating antihistamines (like loratadine) are generally safe to use for long-term. Some studies suggest that dementia may be linked to long-term use of sedating antihistamines, and liver injury is considered to be a very rare effect. Most side effects are short-lived and disappear after stopping the antihistamine.
