I have allergy meds on me at all times, because sometimes I break out in hives for no reason.

One day, I'm sneezing like crazy from seasonal allergies, and my coworker asked if I tried any medicine. I suddenly realized allergy medicine works for allergies

Well but in your defence, you probably don't just carry around something like cetirizine but something more rash/hive specific like Idk desloratadine, which would not be the first choice for seasonal allergies... I'd guess (also not an expert in allergy medicine but you get the gist I think)

Nope, it's cetirizine, the other one you mentioned doesn't work, and Benadryl makes me sleepy. Looking at the bottle, it doesn't even list rashes or anything - just seasonal allergies lol

Yeah it's wild that they don't really make it obvious that antihistamines works pretty much anywhere or any way for allergies.

I'm allergic to Benadryl which means if I ever I'm having an allergic reaction to something else I'm allergic to I can't treat the hives with Benadryl, but Zyrtec, Allegra, Claritin, all are somewhat effective in treating it. But man cetirizine is definitely the best one.

A few years ago I had an allergic reaction to amoxicillin I was taking from having strep throat which caused me to break out in hives and swell my face up. I was given citirizine and told to stop taking the amoxicillin.

I used to clear my nose (still do), sometimes it would start running after sneezing so I'd take a paper towel and clean up the snot. I then had to sneeze again and that caused more snot to appear.

It turns out that I can just use my mouth to inhale and not have to breathe in a bunch of tiny towel particles. Who woulda thought... ¯_(ツ)_/¯
