I just need to find something that works that doesn’t cause side effects I cannot tolerate. My doctor’s assistant called in a prescription for a different type of nasal spray but it’s $60 for a 30-month supply and there’s no over the counter alternative so I won’t be trying that. I purchased generic Zyrtec which I plan to start taking tomorrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Went for an allergy test today to get to the bottom of all the inflammation in my face\/neck I’ve been having since May.
