What is a good over-the-counter allergy medication?

What’s a good otc allergy med?

My allergies are driving me insane and my Benadryl isn’t working at all.

I take Claritin. But wanting to try Zyrtec because I hear good things. Sometimes with Claritin I’m still super sneezy

My husband's doc at the Cleveland Clinic says to alternate Claritin and Zyrtec because it's more effective. Like that Claritin 1x a day for 6 months, then switch to taking Zyrtec instead. He says your body doesn't react as well if you always take just one type.

@m00my2five I'm actually at the doctor with Lynnie now because we just can't get her cough under control at night. I think she may have asthma.

Zyrtec. Benadryl is no longer recommended for seasonal allergies from what my daughter's allergist told me.

I’m seeing that. It used to work but also my allergies have gotten a lot worse the last year or two than they’ve been before.

Claritin and Zyrtec are both good. Generic is fine.

@supermomof4 either one is fine, you take it 1x a day. It's actually recommended you switch between brands every 6 months are so for maximum effectiveness. We get it at Sam's club (their own brand) and they are cheap.

Any mom with kids with food allergies or use to have allergies.

When your child had a food allergy did they grow out of their food allergy? If so when did you find out they had a food allergy and at what age did they grow out of it? I’m just curious 😊
