Please post your allergy remedies!
I'm so uncomfortable over here and I can barely talk.  I took a Claritin this morning and I've been drinking hot tea and honey. What else?

I never take claritin...it never works for me. If you aren't driving....take benedryl. It might make you drowsey but you will feel some relief in about 15-20 mins.
Feel better

Claritin-D is better than non-D Clairitin if you're having sinus stuff. If you don't respond to Claritin, you might want to get a prescription for Allegra D or Zyrtec (my favorite). There are also some really good nasal sprays like Nasonex or Flonase.

Maybe a humidifier?

My DH uses Astellin (sp?) and it seems to work better than Claritin and Benedryl (which knocks him out)

Using Nasacort, Nasonex or Flonase twice a day really helps.
I just started on Singulair after having no luck with my regular prescription of Allegra.

I agree ... I choose this over my prescription meds, but even Alavert isn't working well enough this week.

Re: Please post your allergy remedies!
claritin D works best for me, it relieves the congestion and keeps me from sneezing all day long.
my doctor also told me to take a shower every night before going to bed to make sure i wash off any pollen in my hair and on my skin and also sleep with a humidifier.
