Is Zyrtec The Right Medicine For Watery Eyes?

My eyes are watery, with the fluid running from the outer corner of my eyes. They run so much that my skin at the corner of each eye is raw. I have been taking Zyrtec for approx. 10 days and using allergy drops for my eyes. Does not seem to be helping. Today I have noticed a bad smell in my nose. Is there something else I can try.
Thanks
