[QUOTE="klmno, post: 352691, member: 3699"] Well it helps but I'd kind of found these things out the hard way the past few years. LOL! I didn't realize that the decongestant type was more likely to cause a problem for him- it actually helps my moods and allergies both. We have the AC on and he changed the filters out a few days after getting home. He and his mentor were outside a few hours yesterday, for the most part, but were in a museum today. That astelin (or whatever) nasal spray (has no antihistimine in it) was the best for dealing with the symptons while still not activating or causing agitation but it's an rx type ($ for dr plus medication). We have both clariton (brand) and zyrtec here already. And a generic for clariton, which difficult child took this morning around 9:30 but it's not working at all. The clariton helps him a little- the zyrtec used to work great, but as I said ....I consider it a risk at this point. Since it must be stronger and difficult child had a 24 hr type first thing this morning, I think I'll give him a brand clariton tonight. It's raining now so hopefully that well help things tomorrow. I'm sure his refusal to keep windows closed last weekend and all the other stuff didn't help- along with me having him wash the car today. But I can't cut the grass, wash the car, clean the pollen off the porch and deck and be in here working at the same time- while he plays video games, you know?? difficult child said they didn't give him any allergy medications in Department of Juvenile Justice, no matter how bad they got. I don't know if that's because I'd let them know he should have that nasal spray and it had to be rx'd, if they just let all kids suffer thru it- but he's so miserable tonight I can't ignore it.
