I have great problem with seasonal allergies. I always have antihistamine in my purse. Fortunately, it has never happened to me to get really serious allergy attack. I wonder if I can be allergic to cortisone. As I know that it is part of the first aid. What do you think?

Cortisone is naturally occurring hormone and is not unknown substance for human body. It is released from adrenal gland as anti-stress hormone, so human immune system normally recognizes it and doesnt activate immune defense. I also have constant problem with allergies, nasal decongestion, sneezing and coughing. I always have pheniramine with me or loratadine. Im trying to keep it under control as I can.
