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'm allergic to different smells like perfumes and soaps, and whenever I'm around them, I start sneezing, get a runny nose, and my eyes get really watery. It's been happening a lot more lately. On some dates, my Absolute Eosinophil Count (AEC) numbers look like this: February was 1350, March went down to 980, April was 800, August dropped to 705, but then in September, it shot up to 1035. I've been on Hetrazan 100mg tablets during March, April, May, and August, but even with the medication, my AEC went up again in September. Any idea why this is happening or how I can better manage it?

your body reacts more to the things and cause inflammation in ur respiratory tracts
