My boyfriend uses benadryn every day because of allergic reaction he suffers every summer. It seems to me that is not helpful enough because it does not relieves him from congestion. In fact, its effect lasts really short, so he has to take it very often and I think that it is the right way for becoming resistant on decongestants. Do you know for better medication? I think that he needs longer lasting form of antihistaminic. Thanks in advance.

I think that prescription drugs for allergy are better than otcs. They are more effective and with fewer side effects. I suggest trying allegra or allecort that is spray antihistaminic. I have the same problem with runny nose and sneezing. I used benadryn but had to stop. Benadryn made me sleepy, so I switched on allegra and aerius sometimes.
