Allergies: You don't get itching from a cold. Try otc antihistamine plus a decongestant. If it doesn't work, see your doctor to get a rx nasal spray.

I was waking up sneezing with itchy and runny nose and ithy eyes. I bought over the counter medicine Rinialer 10mg tablets. Is it good for this situation as I think it is an allergy and I normally go to the doctor before I take medicine. Thanks.
