This morning I woke up to an allergy attack. I am congestion with head pressure. If I let it go my eyes can't see light. What can I take asap ty

I believe Benadryl is safe to take. Go to a pharmacy and ask maybe?

My OB says Zyrtec and Claritan are safe too, as well as Robatussin. But I would ask your doctor what he/she recommends just in case.

I have been taking Claritin daily since the beginning and it makes all the difference!

Benadryl and Robatussin is safe according to my doctor and I took it.

I think Claritin is okay, but maybe not the one with the decongestant? Just ask Doc to be sure. Maybe normal Claritin + mucinex

How about sudafed. I usually take the pain and pressure. Mainly head pressure

Not to freak you out, but...that's how my flu symptoms started. I thought it was allergies for two days before the chills and fever and (extra) vomiting and body aches kicked in. Tested positive for flu A. Just FYI to be vigilant.

I really, really hope that isn't the case for you! But drink lots of water and take care of yourself either way.

Sudafed is okay to take in the second trimester...make sure you are taking pseudoephedrine as opposed to phenylephrine (which hides in just about every cough and cold OTC drug). You may have to go to the pharmacist as pseuedoephredrine is often kept behind the counter now.

Regular sudafed was on my list of approved medications during pregnancy but you can check with your OB to be sure.

Claritin, Zyrtec, and regular Sudafed (for a couple days) as well as regular Mucinex are all ok. I take a Claritin almost every day when it gets warmer.
