Posted on Wed, 22 Jun 2016
Question: My allergies are killing me this week. I have already taken 1 180 mg Allegra today, is there anything else I can take with it? My eyes are watering, my whole body is itchy, but my face and eyes are the worst.

Brief Answer:
You can take oral steroid.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Allegra is having fexofenadine. It is antihistamine in nature.
Other options for your disease are
1. Instead of plain fexofenadine, you should take combination of fexofenadine and montelukast (anti allergic).
2. Oral steroid (prednisone) is also beneficial in severe cases.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
