Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor's service.
I read your query and here is my advice.
Taking count that your blood test was normal you should not worry about it.
Claritin is also known not to give petechiae as a side effect.
I want to know some more details if you are using any other medications despite Claritin such blood thinners, phenytoin, penicillin,quinine .
Also tell me if you are having other symptoms despite allergies.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear and thank you for asking again.
I don't think this is something important taking count that blood tests were normal also you don't have other symptoms and are not having other medications.
It may go by itself.
I think you may need to check liver function also ,doing liver enzymes tests and bilirubin.
Taking vitamin C supplements may be helpful.
