[QUOTE="skeeter, post: 180883, member: 439"] I could write you a book on allergies - but won't. You've already gotten some good advice above. Just remember there is a "correct" way to take antihistimines to have them be most effective and that is BEFORE the allergic symptoms occur. You want to have a level of them in your body before the cells start to produce histimine - which leads to the allergic symptoms, instead of trying to fight the symptoms after they are occurring. I would second the idea of seeing an allergist, however. While I do pretty well on antihisitimes (at least I did until they stopped making Drixoral this year!), my kids were on allergy shots for many, many years instead of having them take the drugs. And allergies do change over time, and puberty can also effect them. Also - not all allergies are of the "runny nose" type. My oldest is allergic to cow's milk, and this has manifested itself over the years as hives, eczema, nausea and vomiting, hyperactivity, and subcutaneous acne. [/QUOTE]
