I've been taking antihistamines for quite a while now, and I'm starting to wonder about what side effects they might have. Are there any alternatives to this medication that I could consider?

Long-term use of antihistamines can lead to side effects like drowsiness, dry mouth, constipation, urinary retention, and cognitive impairment; other options to consider include immunotherapy, nasal corticosteroids, leukotriene modifiers, or natural alternatives like quercetin, vitamin C, and probiotics,

The sneezing could be due to allergic rhinitis, and the dark circles could be a result of nasal congestion causing poor sleep quality. For the sneezing, you can try taking an antihistamine like Claritin (loratadine) once daily in the morning to help with allergies. To address the dark circles, you can try using an over-the-counter decongestant like Sudafed (pseudoephedrine) to help with nasal congestion and improve sleep quality. Make sure to also maintain good sleep hygiene and consider using a humidifier in your bedroom to help with any nasal congestion.

I'm experiencing continuous sneezing and a runny nose, and I think it might be a dust allergy since it started after I cleaned a dusty room. Im a breastfeeding mom with a 1-year-old, and it doesn't seem like the regular flu because my temperature is normal. Should I be concerned about anything specific or is there something I can do to manage this better?
probably it is dust allergy. avoid exposing to dust. take tablet.citrizen
