  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
