I've been dealing with this persistent skin allergy that causes swelling all over my body. My doctor mentioned it might be due to seafood, but the allergy hasn't stopped. I've been on Allegra 120mg for the last four months, but the moment I miss even a single dose, the allergy flares up again. I'm worried about the long-term side effects of taking this medication. Is there any advice or a different solution you can suggest?

It seems like you are experiencing a persistent allergic reaction despite taking Allegra (Fexofenadine) 120mg daily. In such cases, you may benefit from a different class of antihistamines such as Cetirizine (Zyrtec) 10mg once daily or Loratadine (Claritin) 10mg once daily. Additionally, you can consider adding a mast cell stabilizer like Cromolyn sodium (Nasalcrom) to prevent the release of histamine in your body. It is important to consult with your doctor before making any changes to your medication regimen.
