The medication sometimes is to help along with doing other things like washing your beddings more frequently especially if you notice that the symptoms are worse early in the morning. You may want to choose which of the medications work best for you because the combined side effect may not be what you want seeing the time interval is very short. Remember to keep dust and pollen down with aircondit

Claritin and Allegra as well as Zyrtec and Benadryl are all anti histamines. Take multiple different types is similar to overdosing and side effects may be heightened. For sinus congestion, Flonase, Nasonex and sinus rinses are available. Patanol/pataday for eye itchiness
