Does Allegra (over the counter) work better than Claritin or Zyrtec? I have taken both Claritin and Zyrtec but I do not feel like I am getting very good relief. I think my body is immune to both of...
If having 3-pulmonary function tests would be considered "assessed" for asthma then yes I have been. Those tests showed that I did not have asthma. I saw a specialist for my allergies and he said he...
