can you recommend an over the counter antihistamine table or syrup to take
Brief Answer:
Over the counter depends state to state.
Detailed Answer:
hi
thanks for writing back to me,
It is difficult for me to recommend a specific brand. Any good anti histamine or cough syrup would be worth trying because all of them out there, have almost same efficacy and same cocktail of drugs combined in one syrup.
You may take cetrizine which is considered non-sedative or you may take allegra-d which may cause sedation.
Hope that answered your question, if you have more questions I am happy to answer, if not then please close the discussion and rate the answer.
Wish you health
