Jtee@lemmy.world 1 day agoThe 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

At this point you have to be trolling or incredibly neurodivergent and unable to look past the word cold on a box. The latter is understandable. I’d suggest researching which specific ingredients may help allergies and why it might be included in other/similar medication. Consult a doctor if needed.
