Hello,
Though Cetirizine is an antihistamine and works as an antiallergic, some people are allergic to it and it seems to be that in your case. You can substitute Cetirizine with the tab. Avil or tab. Fexofenadine which is also good antiallergics.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
