"I have seasonal allergies and I take Claritin daily. Since yesterday, one of my eyes has swollen and Claritin is not working. What should I do?"

It is recommended to consult a pharmacist in person for an inspection of your swollen eye to determine the nature of your symptoms. In the meantime, switching from Claritin to Benadryl or using OPTICROM or CROMOLYN eye drops may help alleviate the swelling. Applying a warm compress to the eye for 15 minutes, four times a day, could also be beneficial. If the swelling is moderate to severe, Benadryl may be more effective, while the eye drops may be suitable for mild to moderate swelling. Continuing with allergy medication like Claritin will provide long-term protection against allergies.
