I've been dealing with allergies from things like dust and pollen, which usually leave me with a running nose and watery eyes. To manage this, I've been taking Cetrizine 10mg every few days for about a year now. I'm just a bit worried about whether there are any serious side effects from using this medication long-term? Or maybe there's a better way to handle this that I haven't tried?

I've been dealing with really frequent colds and sneezing fits, like, a couple of times a week, and it usually sticks around for a day or two. I'm also managing asthma with a beclate inhaler. Any idea on how I can get this under control?

I recommend consulting your doctor to evaluate triggers and consider adding an antihistamine or nasal spray to your treatment plan. Keeping your asthma well-controlled is also essential.

I'm really struggling with this long-term issue. When I take medicine, I'm okay, but if I don't, it's like the worst ever. I have this constant runny nose, continuous sneezing, and headaches, and it's just becoming too much to handle every day without medication. I've tried Allegra, Montek LC, and Cetirizine. They work for a day but then it's back to the same problems. What should I do?
