Hayfever - antihistamines OK?

[Zarabelle]

Hi Guys

I suffer with tree pollen and get itchy eyes, ears, nose and a chronic sore throat. Thankfully, as soon as the tree pollen is over, I am fine so my hayfever is short lived.

Can I take an anti-histamine without any probs on the WOL?

I feel miserable today with it.

Thanks

I take them all the time and have experienced no difficulties.

Thanks Blue. Am going to take one now! x

zyrtec is available OTC now and I've been taking that, I'm pretty sure its ok. It works good for me and it doesn't make me tired like benedryl does.

I take zyrtac when I go swimming (allergy to cold temperatures, would you believe!!) to ward off anaphylactic shock. So far it hasn't hindered me at all.

Thanks guys. For some reason, I thought you were not supposed to take them but am probably confusing them with another medication. In any case, I come down with full blown flu symptoms if I don't take them so there's not much choice! It's only for a few weeks.
