quick fix - allergies?

[Kylie Anne]

I have pretty bad allergies to random things. they usually only happen in the spring, and I'm on zyrtec and two kinds of spray. I'm told by my doctor that I can stop taking them after June starts because my allergies are gone then. I'm terrible at remembering to take pills so I do stop then. however, randomly my parents decide that 80°F is comfortable and we should probably turn the ac off and open the windows. when they do this I get horrible allergies again. now mind you, I can go outside all day and be fine allergy wise as long as I'm not in the woods, but having the windows open makes me sick. I don't really understand it. anyway, my grad party is today and I need any quick fixing to make me feel better within the next 7hrs (yes, i took my zyrtec right when they opened the windows and did everything else too, but that usually takes at least a day or two to work for me):

Claritin works pretty well, maybe try that. Good luck!

I am not sure if vitamin C is the right choice, because allergies are an over stimulation of the immune system, and vitamin C boosts the immune system, but if you are desperate, they make little vitamin C drops (they look like cough drops and are made by Halls. They are actually pretty tasty. If you don't like those, try Emergen-C, it's a little powder that comes in a bunch of flavors and you put it in water (hot or cold)). They both have about the entire daily value of vitamin C, so drink up! I have the same problem with allergies, so I hope somebody comes up with a proven answer. Hope you feel better!Nosoop4u

Alavert works miracles for me. You might want to try them. They dissolve in your mouth and I feel relief from allergies within a hour. Feel better soon and Congrats on Graduating
