No need to worry: Zyrtec (cetirizine) does not cause any exacerbation of your symptoms.

Zyrtec (cetirizine): And other oral antihistamines have not been reported to be an issue in persons with ulcerative colitis generally and should be well-tolerated. You may also switch to a topical nasal steroid if you do not want to take an oral medication.
