The physician may suggest you see an allergist. "For patients with mild allergy symptoms, over the counter medications like Zyrtec, Allegra, and Claritin are helpful. In fact, the majority of people benefit from those kinds of medications," Wallen said.

Allergy drugs like Claritin and Alavert combine pseudoephedrine with loratadine. Zyrtec combines the drug with cetirizine. Crigger said he writes prescriptions for traditional pseudoephedrine drugs when patients don't have success with the combination medicines.

i am sick and my mom got me medison to take but i have to take zyrtec for something else.... please help me

My son is in kindergarten and has been sick off and on all year. He has just come off of a 10 day antibiotic after having strep, pinkeye and ear infection. Now he is congested and has thick green mucus pouring from his nose. We can't keep it wiped fast enough. He is taking a decongestant, but it doesn't seem to be helping. He is also on zyrtec everyday. I am frustrated because he keeps being sick. I am taking him back to the doctor Monday to get it checked out.

the vet over $400 for them to tell me he probably had a nasal tumor and there wasn't a lot they could do. Well it's not a tumor or he would be dead by now and he has no facial distorion of any kind. Here is a list of his symptoms: Runny Nose, sometimes blood tinged Sneezing/Reverse sneezing Foul odor form the nose Mouth Breathing It seems like allergies, but I give him half a zyrtec everyday and it's not helping. I have two other dogs and they aren't sick so it isn't contagious. I have search

I scheduled an appointment with a doctor because my tonsils were really swollen, I can barely hear, and I have really bad sinus pressure and it won't let up at all. I had a really bad cough and had been throwing up blood. I went to my appointment and when the nurse said the doctor would be in shortly, she said the wrong doctor's name. I asked about it and her exact words were " you get who you get." The doctor was very rude. She asked some questions about my problems and had me lay down. She t

I'm 16 male and since Monday night have been having severe alergies. The only thing bothering me is my nose I constantly have to blow it or dab it to get the runnyness. I can never get a full night sleep as you can see and I wake up about every hour to re-blow and check up on. I've noticed that my nose feels runny but nothing is there only the feeling. What's up with this? I have been taking Zyrtec and alkaseltzer plus Alergy medication but nothing helps. I have already missed 2 days of school

I'm a 19 year old female and I've been in and out of clinics and hospitals with various problems. Recently I've had a rather unusual problem. My eyes have been really dry and feeling irritated and itchy. I thought it might be allergies so I started my usual seasonal allergy medication, Zyrtec. The medicine did nothing for me, probably because it's not allergies. Every time I put my contacts in (which I've been wearing for years, and not the same pair, mind you) my eyes turn bloodshot red and f

So I have to take a Zyrtec when I get up in the morning, but then the itchy nose, nasal congestion, and sneezing come back about 9 pm. Since Zyrtec is a one a day pill is there anything else I can take that won't interact with the Zyrtec?

OK so allegra zyrtec clairigton say ruuny nose but never nasel con. What allergy medicne will get rid of my stuffy and runny nose? PS. I only tried allegra and clairington they don't work.

I have just discovered a red/purple bruise on my right leg (it was where another bruise was) and for some reason it's more like red on one side, fading off, while the purple is just in the center and on all sides. Last week I did cry (from personal issues) and 2 days ago licked a lemon with salt on it (which isn't a good idea to begin with, but it's way too tempting) and brushed my teeth afterwards. I do believe that there was a yellowish bruise there before it and I'm really concerned becau

i need to know if it is ok to take walmart brand zyrtec (equate) indoor outdoor allergy relief 24 hour during the day and later on that night take walmrt brand (equate) benedryl. my allergies are horrible.. i know working a petstore doesnt help. but if i just take the 24 hour pill alone i have allergy attacks about 6 pm and then i cant breathe very well when i go to bed... so then i lose sleep and feel like crap in the morning cause im exhausted and again my allergies are really bad. now the l

I got a dog about 2 weeks ago (boxer mix). The first night we brought him home, I woke up in the middle of the night coughing and wheezing. This continued every night to the point that we had to give him back to help with my allergies. I have given him back about 3-4 days ago and the coughing, wheezing has got ALOT better BUT I am still doing it. The wheezing/coughing at night has stopped completely and I am only wheezing/coughing some mornings (but more often than not). I read online that

I have recently joined the navy and I am set to ship to basic training on march 21st 2012. I got through the medical at M.E.P.S. just fine, however, I have a small allergy that requires me to take zyrtec or I will get hives. My question is will over the counter medications be available at basic to those who need them. Thanks for the help.

I just lost hearing in my right ear, I think it's from taking 2 40 mg zyrtecs.. I just wanna know if I'll get my hearing back

I'm only 16 and I feel I am more tired than I feel I should be. I can't get through school without putting my head down in classes, and basically right when I get home from school I fall asleep for up to 3 or 4 hours. I don't know why this is, I'm am not overweight (i am 5'11", 155 or so pounds) and I don't necessarily have a good diet, but not a very bad one either. I overeat some junk food but I have my fair share of fruits and vegetables too. I'm also usually in bed at about 10 p.m. I

Uhm... Yeah... I'm kind of stupid... How many citerizine chloride pills does it take to kill someone?

Three days ago (Monday morning), I woke up at 10 a.m and took my three daily medicines: a generic brand of Zyrtec (allergy medicine), my birth control, and a generic Women's one-a-day type vitamin. About 15-20 minutes later, I got sick. I didn't take any medicines the following two days. This morning, I went through the same routine and got sick again after taking the medicines. I only had water before both times. What could be wrong? Yes, there is a chance I could be pregnant. I'm sexually ac

Well when i firstb got it i would pull my ear lobe down, it would make a noise and that would help it temporarily, then it got bad, so i went to a dr and he prescribed me some antibiotics (not sure there name) they worked and i could hear properly again and but then it came back like a few weeks later. i went to another dr and she said i need nasal spray and that my ear drum was inflamed with pus and little pockets in it. so i took the nasal spray 3 times a day and still am and that didnt work

I used to take zyrtec (allergy meds) everyday for my dust/pollen allergy...I took it for 1-2 years. Now I stopped about 6 months ago and I've been breaking out. I starte my period when I was eleven and never broke out until now that I'm 14. So do you think me stopping taking this mediation has something to do with my acne? I used to only break out on my forehead and that's it. Now it's all over my cheeks... and yes I do cleanse my face regularly.

For a little over a week now, I've been waking up every morning with red, irritated eyes that have clear, watery drainage. My mom thought I had pink eye, so I stayed out of school Monday and yesterday. I was finally able to get an appointment yesterday, and my doctor said I didn't have pink eye, but my allergy medicine was starting to not work as well, so she prescribed me 60 mg Allegra (Fexofenadine Hydrochloride tablets) and Pataday eyedrops (olopatadine hydrochloride ophthalmic solution, 0.

My sinuses seem to always be swollen enough that I can't sleep due to sleep apnea. I saw dozens of doctors 15 years ago trying to fix it, but it seemed like none of their solutions have really helped much. I'm allergic to dust, mold, pollen, and many animals so the symptoms are always there no matter where I go or what time of year. These have almost no effect anymore: Zyrtec, Allegra, Rhinocourt, Breathe Right Strips, Sudafed PE, Musinex. These have a little effect: nasal washes, vapor ru

I've tried zyrtec, benedryl, nasal spray, pseudoephedrine, phenylephrine, vicks....nothing is working. and YES, I have thought about going to the doctor. I can't for in for a few days. Any suggestions for over the counter products I can try until I can get in with doc?

Does anyone have an antidote to the sedative hangover effect from Zyrtec that is NOT pseudoephedrine or caffeine? I use Zyrtec because it's the most effective one out there that causes the least amount of hangover for me in the morning, even though there’s still a bit too much when I wake up. I have already tried all of the other techniques to minimize it (for example, changing dose, changing timing, trying other drugs like Allegra, swapping with steroid sprays, using sinus irrigation, exe

So all day I've had a headache with mild sharp shooting pains going throughout my head and have felt weak and completely drained and my throat hurts. Idk if it's a sinus headache or anything to do with my synuses but I need to know what y'all think or what I could do to make myself better because I have a busy day tommorow. I have already taken Tylenol and Zyrtec.

I have nasal congestion and I've been take Zyrtec-D for it, but the drainage is making my head hurt. I took Zyrtec at like 10:00 or 10:30 in the morning. It's 11:40 right now as I write this. Would it be okay to take Tylenol pain reliever for my head?

I moved back to school in Arizona and I am having allergies to stuff in the air. Is it ok to take something like Zyrtec during the day while I am taking Buspar?

My eyes are always really red and sometimes my vision is blurry. This has been happening for months. It gets a little better when I wear my glasses or at least my eyes don't hurt. It gets worse when I wear contacts. I work as a software developer so I'm looking at a monitor at least 8 hours a day. I do however take small 2-3 minute breaks about every 1.5 hours to go to the bathroom or go refill my water bottle. I am near-sighted. I have the night and day contacts but only wear them for maybe 5

I used to take Zyrtec allergy meds everyday...and my skin was fine. Then I stopped taking it all together for months and have noticed I have moderate acne. Should I go back to taking it?....and what does this acne have to do with Zyrtec... if it does in anyways

I always get random nosebleeds and I don't know why. It could be allergies but it happens all year round and is really random. I've had nosebleed problems since I was a child. The only thing to keep it from happening is taking a Zyrtec every morning before work. Any time I forget to take one I always get a nosebleed and it can be very embarrassing at work. Any other ways that I can prevent it? Or am I stuck with the problem?

So I've had hives on and off for the past few months, and according to my doctor at this point its considered chronic hives. I dont get any major swelling or anything except sometimes my sinuses will swell or my face will get red when im drinking. Other than that though i just wake up with some on my forearms every few days, normally i just ignore it but sometimes i take a zyrtec if its bad. Anyway all Im asking is am i stuck with this forever or will this probably eventually go away? im an

I am 13 and have had trouble with acne before. I had perfect skin before taking Zyrtec and now I'm breaking out all over my forehead and on my cheeks, these have never been 'problem' areas for me when I did have acne. What is going on?

I'm in college and I've been getting really stressed out from my classes. I notice that whenever I start to feel anxious, I start sneezing A LOT and my skin starts to break out from hives all over my body. This also includes rashes that get itchy. My allergies are the worst, and no medicine seems to prevent my sneezing. I have tried all kinds of allergy pills: Claritin, Zyrtec, Allegra, DayQuil, Sudafed. I have even used some of them on the same day. None of them work!!! What is wrong with m

I just got my first BFP last night & can't get in to see my doctor until next week. But I have really bad allergies & need to take my Zyrtec before next week. Is it okay during pregnancy? Thanks.

For the past year, I've been dealing with sinus off and on. But the "feelings" (tiredness, dizziness, lack of energy, brain fog, etc.) associated with it has mostly lingered. I've been to 2 ENT doctors and they just tell me to take Sudafed and Zyrtec. I have been but it doesn't do much for me. However, I nearly break my nose 6 years ago which left a bump on the middle of my nose. An ENT doctor told me that I have a deviated septum on the left side of my nose. What do I do? And is it possibl

My father is a QC laboratory chemist/technician. He has a masters degree in chemistry and his job is to test medicine to see if they are ok before they are packaged. He does this for major companies like tylenol, zyrtec, clariton..etc. Why does he get paid like he's a teacher or something? He only gets around $43,000-$48,000 annually. Shouldn't he get paid more? I mean we're basically relying on him to make sure that the medicine is safe or not. He has about 10 years experience by the way. If

Can i take three in one day instead of one

My 2 1/2 year old son was prescribed Zyrtec for persistent nasal congestion that caused a nasty cough. We had been giving him Benadryl but she was concerned about the frequency and said Zyrtec was safer for such frequent use. My husband and I were unsure about giving it to him, so we didn't get the scrip filled right away. I got it about a week ago, and last night he was really stuffy and coughing, so I gave him the 1/2 teaspoon does and put him to bed. I checked on him an hour later and he ha

My allergies are just so bad I even tried allegra (my body got immune to it)I have to take zyrtec everyday. It doesn't work alot but its the only thing that works any more. Every day I have the sniffles & congestion I have the worst sinus headaches. What else can I be doin?

I have really bad hives and nothing seems to work. Alavert, benadryll, zyrtec, and some homeopathic stuff have stopped working for me. I read about this oxyhives but there really is t any user reviews. Will it help i need something

I recently have been sick for the past 3 and a half weeks I've come to the conclusion that its a sinus infection. I went to my doctors with the following symptoms ( coughing, head ache, sinus pressure, post,nasal drip,dark green flem in the morning, sore ears and eyes) My doctor tested me for Strep results were negative and She told me to take NyQuil and Nyquil. The Second week I developed pink eye she then prescribed me meds for that. The end of the second week she prescribed me a Zpak. I fin

My husband and I since we got married very young have had a lot of issues that could have been dealt with if we got married later in life. We do not regret it, and in April of last year when we were ultimately going to get a divorce, I started going to counseling alone. It did wonders for our relationship, and we ended up getting pregnant on vacation unexpectedly. We were not happy when we initially found out, but we are both now thrilled to be having our son. I am 27 weeks pregnant and it's o

I'm allergic to cats and have three. Didn't find out about the allergy until my cats were 8 years old. An allergist put me on bromfenex, which worked like a charm. They discontinued it when it caused heart problems in people with A Fib, and I haven't found anything as good. Allergist just told me to take zyrtec, and it doesn't work well at all. Any suggestions from those with pet allergies of an over the counter that works for them?

To start with, I'm allergic to my cat at home. We're not getting rid of her. I have a terribly stuffy nose because of this, so I used nasal spray at night, otherwise I'd breathe through my mouth and wake up with bleeding, chapped lips. It worked so well, I decided to disregard the 3 days and keep using it. I suppose as a result of, I developed some kind of sickness or sinus problem where I had cold like symptoms: swollen lymph nodes, hurts to swallow, etc. I'm all better now, except for the mu

I've got post nasal drip and don't know how to get rid of it. It's really annoying. Thanks!

I got tested for allergies yesterday. My arms still itch though. I've used cortizone 10, zyrtec, benadryl, and these icy patches (they cool the skin. The cortizone 10 and icy patches help for a while, but then they start itching again. Is this normal? I did have some unusal reactions, instead of the little bumps getting bigger in diameter, some of them swelled a lot in a large area, like so it hid some of the other bumps. I turned out to be highly allergic to most of the things.

I have perennial, indoor allergies (dust mites, cat dander), and am currently being treated for an asthma flareup and out-of-control allergic rhinitis. The doctor has me on Flonase, Astelin, Zyrtec, prednisone, and an albuterol inhaler as needed. I sometimes take 2 Benadryl because the Zyrtec isn't doing the job. But no matter what I take, I have this unbearable tickle in my throat, that makes me cough constantly. Feels like I have a feather caught in there. With all this allergy medicatio
