I am feeling totally miserable, could happily scratch my own eyes out, my nose is constantly itching, my eyes hurts and my head aches from the congestion.

I took a once a day tablet at about 2.30, when they symptoms started, the active ingredient is loratadine.

Is it possible to take another once a day table with a different active ingredient now, or will I have to leave it until morning, or even 24 hours later?

I can't beleieve that the tablet I took earlier has done nothing (or, I would be worse )

Any other remedies that work that you can recommend?

Lots of people have recommended local honey to me but I go for the drugs every time.

It's rotten isn't it?

No advice but bumping for you anyway.

I've just had a bath and washed my hair to get rid of any pollen on me and I do feel better. Mind you, I'm now sitting here sweating because I daren't open any windows or it will start up again.

Beconase nasal spray.
Works quickly.
You can get it over the counter.
