JFC literally everyone has been saying cold medicine treats these symptoms and you just reply with “I don’t want cold medicine”. You’ve been given the answer. Cold medicine treats the same symptoms as your allergy. Just call it allergy medicine to yourself or something

  The cold medicine is only called cold medicine because it treats symptoms from a cold. Which are similar if not the same as allergies.
  
  You need antihistamines and decongestants to treat your allergy symptoms.
  
  If a medicine has either of those, it can help you even if it’s called Benadryl, Claritin or Advil.

    Benadryl doesn’t work for me anymore though.
    
    Stopped working almost 6 years ago when I was 16

    That’s not the point. Just look for the medicinal ingredients that provide relief for your symptoms. It could be called cacapoopoo cold medicine, or super crazy allergy medicine #1 as long as it has the ingredients to treat the specific symptoms
