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 using Montek LC tablets for quite a while to help with my sneezing, especially when I wake up in the morning, and they've really made a difference. The problem is, whenever I stop taking them, the sneezing comes back even worse. Could you please give me some advice on what's going on or any suggestions on how to handle this?

try avoiding cold weather , dust and whatever you feel allergic to then symptoms will be reduced
