loratidine or cetirizine could help. Dh takes a daily loratidine tablet due to allergies. Dont buy branded as they are more expensive for the same product

is it prescription or over counter please?
ive seen Benadryl plus for dust pet and congestion - no good? or should I be looking for something containing cetirizine
thanks

You can buy them over the counter. the plain unbranded ones have the same active ingredients as the branded

have just checked what the benadryl plus contains and it has a different antihistamine plus a decongestant so is different to the 2 I suggested. all you can do is try it and see if it helps
