I want to know if I can take Alka-Seltzer plus severe allergy with allegra. I ve already taken the alka seltzer because i was having a stuffy/runny nose with a lot of sneezing and headache. However, the sneezing and itchy throat are really bad from my allergies. I know the alka seltzer has antihistamine in it so I didn t know if taking the allegra on top of it would be too much antihistamine. I also use nasonex nose spray about an hour ago, but it didn t seem to help at all.
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor, You might have sinusitis with upper respiratory tract infection with congestion which actually causes this sneezing, headache or throat irritation. You can do some routine blood tests with sputum examination and X-ray to have confirmed diagnosis. You can take Alka-Seltzer plus which is a good multi Chat Doctor. Furthermore, you should also be given oral antibiotics (quinolones or accolades) in full course for about 5 days with anti-inflammatory and nebulizers with steam inhalation to get rid of complete infection from throat or sinus. Consult ENT specialist for treatment.
