Allergic rhinitis in pregnancy
I am 25 weeks pregnant. I have allergic rhinitis since childhood and I sneeze a lot. I used to take over the counter medicines to get rid of constant sneezing and itchy eyes before conceiving. During my 24th week of pregnancy I was prescribed amoxicillin antibiotics to get rid of cold and cough. After taking the medicines for three days I felt better. But, the sneezing isn't getting better. Can I take any medicine for allergy at this stage of pregnancy now?

There are only few allergy medications which are considered safe during pregnancy. Usually chlorphenaramine maleate is considered safe if prescribed by after confirmation of diagnosis
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
