Dr. Michael Zacharisen answered

Specializes in Allergy and Immunology

Yes, but...: Claritin is an antihistamine and while effective for relief of itching, sneezing, runny nose and hives, it may not have a significant effect on nasal congestion and ear plugging/popping. Your ob/gyn will recommend something more effective than claritin.
