Thanks for the query. Allegra contains fexofenadine and it is an antihistamine. It should work against all type of allergic reactions. They are used for symptomatic treatment and that is what you are seeking at present. Consider meeting an ENT specialist for appropriate approach and management. You can take Allegra till then. Hope it helps. Dr MK Agarwala Dermatologist. New Delhi
