Question Posted Wednesday October 17 2007, 3:47 pm
So, I went to the doctors on Monday because it seemed like a I had strep throat, but the Doctor said that it was only allergies. So today I took a clariten and my ear feels cloged up (like it does when you get off a plane or something) and it's really bothering me. I was wondering if anyone knows if it's alergies? or if I have a cold? or if it's from the Calriten?
PLEASE HELP!
Thanks :D

Generally when you're allergic to something and it causes problems you should get tested to find out what it is your allergic to specifically so as to prevent an allergic reaction in future.
As for the ear, if this is the first it's happened and it happened after you started taking clariten it could be an allergic response to the medication. Read through the leaflet you would have got with the tablets and it should say in there what the most common allergic reactions to the tablet are and if it's not listed on there a quick phone call to your doctor should hopefully clarify things for you and get to the bottom of things. In short I would suggest if it is really bad then seek assistance from your doctor just to check what it is that's causing it (be it the clariten or your original allergy).
