I have bad allergies and i work summer camp. is there any otc allergy med i can take that will decongest me but won't make me feel too drowsy?

Sure: The most cost effective is the genetic loratidine, $4 for 30 pills a month at wal mart , target and several other pharmacies that price match. Allegra (fexofenadine) is another good one that does not cause drowsiness
