Please somebody recommend a good over the counter allergy medicine? I need relief really fast because I feel soooooo terrible . I went to walmart and there are so many choices I didn't know what to get. I cant take anything with Loratadine (i.e. Claritin) because it doesn't work. I have a prescription for Fexofenadine but until I get to the student health center on campus I cant get a refill (and even then it might be impossibly expensive b/c students aren't covered by student insurance over the summer).

My symptoms are: sore throat, runny/stuff nose (can still smell stuff), dry eyes, can't breathe normally, achy all over, sneezing A LOT, really tired feeling. I'm pretty sure it's allergies (or beginnings of a cold?). Help?

asvi and chotoomotoo....duaas and hugs for you inshallah khair.

jellymill...zyrtec recently went over the counter, you can try that. also, benadryl works really well too....if you can deal with the drowsiness. if youre stuffy as well as runny, try the 'D' formulation that is behind the pharmacy counter. hope you feel better

also...if you feel like its the beginning of a cold, pick up some cold-eez lozenges. they have vitamin C and zinc and have been proven to decrease length and severity of the common cold. they really work if you start taking them at the first sign of getting sick (so that would be....now!). it wont prevent you from getting sick completely but it will help it not get too horrible. in my experience at least, there is a definite and apparent difference if i take them vs if i dont. give it a try, they should be right by the regular cough drops and stuff.

thanks for the tips guys . i looked at the link jaani gave after finding some zyrtec buried in the medicine cabinet. It's not loratadine and it's used for hay fever (like fexo that i usually use) so im gonna take it and inshallah it'll work for now. JazzakAllah khair

when im in chicago i have less allergy-related ickyness. As soon as i returned home this week (to parents' house) my allergies began surfacing again. Our house is SURROUNDED by cornfields and being beginning of June it's peak hay fever season (runs from may to end of june). Today was a windy, hot and dry day which apparently makes it even worse! So now I just have to avoid my parents' place for 2 whole months every year *sigh*.

I know lots of people like me who have only now developed allergies in the last few years...how does that happen? It's so WEIRD.

Allergies, and bruinruib can correct me if I'm wrong, is an autoimmune disorder. Western medicine doesn't really have much of an explanation and for the most they, it's a mystery but you should check out the "alternative" theories. Something like this: Omega 3 deficiency food allergies

I'm a total believer in fish oils (well, essential fatty acids generally) now bc o
