My nose is very itchy, and is also bleeding sometimes. i have been taking claritin, (loratadine) once i stop taking it, it starts happening again. what should i do?

Nasal itching: Symptoms of allergies are nasal itching, congestion, sneezing and runny nose. Nose bleeds can occur from "trauma" by nose blowing. Since antihistamines work, that suggests allergies. An allergist can perform allergy testing to define what the allergy is so avoidance measures can be implemented. There are additional medications that can be tried, but it is important to determine the trigger.
