Loratadine and Allegra (fexofenadine) are antihistamines used for allergies, so they won't help lower a fever. While these allergy medications are generally very safe, minor side effects can include mild drowsiness, a dry mouth, or a headache. Serious side effects, though very rare, include severe dizziness, a rapid heartbeat, or an allergic rash. Please rest well, stay hydrated, and feel free to reach out to a healthcare provider if your fever persists.
