Hello
Since you are having allergy and taking aerius , this is antihistamine and act up to certain extent.
When such case visit I prescribe montelukast= fexofnadine ( combination ) ,one tablet on alternate day and patient respond very well .
But this is a prescription drug ,so consult your doctor and get his prescription .
Also get in stool examination for worm infestation .
If possible get in blood for eosinophils count , if very high ( as you didn't mention in the query ) then take a 2nd opinion or upload report over this site.
Good luck.
