Best medications for really bad allergies.

What can I do to help my allergies? I already get allergy shots, and the medications I have tried don't work?

  • I had to go to the hospital a few times because of my allergies so I started getting 2 different types of allergy shots...so I have to get over 18 shots a year...not fun. They help A LOT....but I still have bad allergies...mostly runny/congested nose and sneezing...I mean like sneezing fits were I will sneeze 5 times in a row, and sometimes my nose will be so plugged that I can't taste my food and I loose my appetite. I have tried cetirizine hydrochloride and pseudoephedrine but they don't seem to work...and the pseudoephedrine makes me feel really weird. So what other medications should I take? What are some other things I can do? Ohh...and nasal sprays don't work...not even prescription ones...they only make it worse...I have tried at least 5.

  • Answer:

    I had the diagnosis of allergies for the first time ever in my life this year. I was given a steroid shot (did nothing) and then told to take Claritin (sold over the counter now). After taking the Claritin for a week and a half, I could miraculously breathe again and felt 100% better. I highly recommend you go buy the generic brand of Claritin called Loratadine at Walgreens or Walmart. I, like you, couldn't smell, was congested constantly, and felt horrible. You have to keep taking it though. It takes at least a week to start working and then just keep taking it. I guarantee this will work for you! I am now allergy symptom free and feeling wonderful. Good luck.

There is a dr in streator, dr. dickerson. He does the sublingual immunotherapy. It is the only treatment for food allergies and they can treat inhalants that way too.

You should make an appointment with an ENT surgeon. They may be able to do some sort of surgery on you sinuses to aid you in getting better. Have you tried Nasonex, Nasocort, Flonase? Rx nasal sprays? Seriously, make an appointment with an ENT surgeon, they will probably order a CT or your sinuses and view them and may recommend surgery.
