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 really concerned about this sneezing issue I've been dealing with for the last 34 months. It's not an everyday thing, but when it hits, I can sneeze anywhere between 50 to 70 times in a day. It also causes a runny nose, and my eyes get affected as well. Could you offer some guidance on what might be causing this and what I can do about it?
