I'm sorry to hear that your allergy symptoms have been persistent and uncomfortable despite using Cetirizine and Avil. Allergies causing sneezing and a runny nose can sometimes be challenging to manage, especially when you have other health conditions like high blood pressure.
Since you are taking Telmisartan for high blood pressure, it's important to choose allergy medications that do not interfere with your blood pressure control. A combination medication called Montair-LC, which contains Montelukast and Levocetirizine, might be helpful. Montelukast works by reducing inflammation in the nasal passages, while Levocetirizine blocks histamine, a chemical involved in allergic reactions.
